      Pros

      As others have said, the building is gorgeous. You get to feel good at first because you feel like you're helping underserved communities. If you actually get the go ahead to work on a worthwhile project, you can get some quality work done.

      Cons

      Zero professionalism from management and CEO. For a nonprofit that talks about diversity and inclusiveness, you would expect a a more open-minded and, frankly, modern attitude around the office. Any suggestions for improvement are shot down by threatened members of upper management and there are no opportunities for anonymous feedback. If you are made to feel uncomfortable by a coworker or worse, the CEO, there's no way to report it without fear of it spreading through the office gossip mill and coming back to bite you.

      Good Place to Get Your Feet Wet

      Pros

      PeopleFund occupies an interesting space in the nonprofit sphere as a CDFI, and you'll get a hybrid experience: certain elements function like a nonprofit, other elements more closely resemble a bank. For this reason, it's a good place for people who are new college graduates, early career professionals, or folks looking to change careers into either of these two industries. The workload for entry level folks is reasonable--it ebbs and flows like any company. It's not uncommon for interns to be hired when they graduate, which is a huge plus and very rare for the nonprofit sector. There's a mix of more laid-back and conservative/professional folks, so you can kind of find your vibe depending on what you're looking for out of work relationships. Work schedules can be flexible to accommodate appointments and emergencies, and there are usually lots of opportunities to be outbound and meeting people from other organizations. Pay and benefits (especially benefits) are competitive for comparable positions at other Austin nonprofits. Overall, a solid job for early career folks and one I was happy to have for two years.

      Cons

      There's not a lot of room for advancement, which is a common problem with all nonprofits. Tensions can flare up because there are a lot of big personalities on staff across all levels. Folks who don't have a good experience here usually don't like it because they don't get along with their particular supervisor or team, but if you know how to keep a cool head you'll be fine. It's also not as casual as other nonprofits because it walks the line between nonprofit and bank, so if you're looking for a nonprofit job because you want to show up in jeans and sandals and chat with your work friends every day, this isn't the place for you.

      Pros

      Fun events, beautiful building, some fun networking opportunities for folks just starting out

      Cons

      Drama. Constantly. You will not know if your job is secure, and even if your supervisor is happy with you. The CEO constantly has managers in a state of turmoil. Just not worth the drama. You would expect a non profit to be more chill, but it is the opposite.

      We do our best to be as inclusive and open with our team as possible so everyone feels “in the loop”. Our CEO and management team have an open-door policy where team members can freely express concerns, new ideas, and ask questions. When our team is inspired and supported with the right tools, we all succeed. With a small but mighty team, we work closely together and are friends inside and outside of the office. From staff happy hours, accessory swap parties, team lunches, coffee breaks, and group activities, we constantly team build and learn about one another so we can support small business together. We are also excited about the engaged team we have, including our younger team members. We aren’t perfect, but we want to provide all employees with the tools they need to learn and grow. We have many opportunities for staff members who want to learn new skills, roll up their sleeves, and expand their role.
