Pros
There are a few genuine and competent people still left at this organization. Opportunities for PTO/flex time if your supervisor approves.
Cons
Subservience is favored over hard work and even the slightest critique is met with criticism. The feedback loop is severely broken due to a top-heavy management structure. Executive Director and her team work in a silo and are resistant to change underlying issues that lead to high staff turnover. When executives get any real work done, praise is solicited and expected. Organizational hiring practices are incestuous and new hires quickly realize that most everyone with decision-making authority is related in some way. Although finding a job at an internationally recognized nonprofit — especially in Bellingham’s market — may seem like a good fit, save your energy and look elsewhere. Good people burn out here and it won’t take you long to learn why.
