Pros

Passionate and dedicated staff.

Cons

If you ask questions about goals and vision for the organization you will never get a clear answer or any clarity but will be told time and time again that your only job is to fight for "100% LGBTQ acceptance" or to "change the narrative" or something else super super vague and empty. This leads to things being put off or not prioritized until the last minute, making an unnecessary fanatic and stressful work environment. Decisions are made top-down with no room for feedback, even when it directly impacts or pertains communities not represented by leadership.

Pros

There are some great people to work with.

Cons

I genuinely don’t know where the money raised actually goes. Lack of clear structure or standard operating procedures across teams, leading to burnout, confusion, and duplicated efforts. Creative and brand leadership is undervalued and often expected to carry an outsized workload without corresponding support or compensation. Leadership lacks transparency, often making decisions in silos with little communication or collaboration across departments. Requests for resources or support are frequently delayed or dismissed, despite repeated advocacy. Budget cuts disproportionately affect high-performing teams, leading to talent loss and stalled momentum. Long-term strategic goals are often deprioritized in favor of reactive, last-minute work—leaving little room for innovation or growth.
