Pros

Global organization, brilliant associates that do their best to cater to the board.

Cons

The board elects themselves. Most do not qualify any longer as YPO members. The dues that get paid by members fund extravagant meetings for the board members and occasionally their families. Most management associates walk on eggshells wondering if they will have a job. One minute you're talking to your manager and within an hour they are gone...fired without cause and unable to contact their team. Associates are scrambling to create presentations and pre-reads for the board members who rarely have time to actually lead or make decisions about the organization. Board wants to be involved in the details, but don't have time to actually make decisions. 3 CEO's in 2 years, one of them just disappeared overnight. They just let go a CFO, Head of HR, CXO and an entire department right after giving bonuses and pay increases, without cause. Most associates don't feel safe in their jobs, constantly trying to figure out what the board wants them to do and operating in total chaos.

Pros

Learning environment, opportunity to work on projects/work to build your skillset, part of CEO's learning journey.

Cons

Lots of backstabbing and egos amongst CEOs. ELT members in relationships with members and have the ability to manipulate outcomes that favor their preference.
