Pros
I am a mom to 3 young children (ages 6, 5, and 2), and at TNTP I've been able to work part-time from home for the last 3 years. I worked 30 hours/week and was considered a salaried employee and received benefits and paid time off. This was such a rare find that I'm so grateful for - although the pay is quite low (they are a nonprofit, and my previous career was on Wall Street, so I took quite a salary hit), I like being able to keep my foot in the door to keep my skills sharp and still have flexibility to be there for my family. I just recently decided to reduce my hours so that I could spend more time with the kids, and take them to their after school activities, and TNTP and my team has been great to allow me the flexibility to become a PT hourly employee at 20 hours/week. Although I'm no longer salaried, and thus don't receive benefits or PTO, I am able to keep my 403b and continue to receive contributions from TNTP.
Cons
Their HR is still in its infancy, and they still have a long way to go regarding employee policies. For example, when I was salaried, I was technically non-exempt, which means that I should have been paid for any time worked over 30 hours/week. I didn't know this, and HR didn't know this until after I'd been working there for over 2.5 years. But they made up for it by giving me all the back-pay based on the hours that I logged...of course if I had known that I'd be paid for hours worked over 30 hours/week, I would have been more diligent in recording my time!
