Pros

The best benefit for full time employees is a $10 co-pay for online therapy - which you will need if you take a job here. Work life balance is decent, not out of respect to employees, but due to lack of accountability.

Cons

Classic toxic work environment. Communication from senior leadership flows downward in gossip-y circles even regarding critical issues like possible Covid-related layoffs. DEI conversations are treated as too risky to partake in, and all efforts from well-meaning staff to better the organization and the work are not taken seriously by senior leadership. As an employee I felt undervalued, and under-supported during an incredibly hard year. People of color beware - this will not be a healthy work environment for you.

Pros

-Dedicated teams -Great benefits and flexibility -Inspiring work and stories from the field -Decent job stability. There were layoffs a few years ago, but none since.

Cons

-Salaries for manager/director-levels and below aren't competitive -Rotating door of leadership and ED. EDs have lasted only 1-2 years for the past 10 years. Currently looking for yet another ED. Lost three black female senior leaders in 2020. -Challenges with internal culture that led to the creation of a "culture committee" and a Root Cause Analysis at the board level the following year. No real change ever came of either. All feels performative. Org leadership seems resistant to change. -Staff told by HR not to discuss BLM at work, and the org otherwise remained very quiet on the subject. -Crippling Founder's Syndrome -Overall, the leadership from the very top feels antiquated and of touch.
