Pros

NOW is one of the oldest, grassroots feminist organizations in the U.S, with chapters all over the country.

Cons

Despite much of NOW's outward rhetoric, internally, it is still governed by "white feminist" principles. NOW has a diversity issue, and it is lacking in its intersectional analysis and approach. There were those attempting to move the organization in a more intersectional direction, however, the most recently elected leadership have taken it in the opposite direction. Many of us witnessed racist and transphobic behaviors at the national NOW conference, and then at the National NOW office itself, following the election.

Pros

I loved my co-workers. They make the job worth having.

Cons

The management is entirely incompetent and cruel. They demand more and more hours from you, without allowing you the leniency to leave during family emergencies of deaths in the family, you have to take PTO time for bereavement days, and they will demand that you put your job above yourself and your family.
