Pros

Working on important issues. Fulfilling and meaningful work

Cons

It used to be good, but it is no longer competitive with other top-tier environmental organizations, which the Sierra Club is supposed to be given that is it the “largest” and “oldest” grassroots environmental organization in the country. Also the employer 401k contribution match is poor in comparison to what other organizations offer.
