Pros

Great program staff, dedicated to mission and to conservation. Many loyal individuals who have stayed at the organization through thick and thin.

Cons

A toxic organizational culture, starting with the senior leadership team and percolating down through the organization. CEO has surrounded herself with ineffective leadership team who are loyal to her but not to the organization. There is an environment of distrust and fear that ironically comes from the person in charge of HR whose job it is to create the opposite effect. I have never seen a more fear-driven culture in any nonprofit.
