If you want to be burnt out and under appreciated work here

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.

Pros

Love the cause and the opportunities this opened up for me, and got to work with some truly incredible people

Cons

There is a constant shift in staff as needs are often determined by the moods and whims of the L team chasing current media stories instead of focusing on creating our own narrative. No real spaces for honest conversation, growth or recognition. If you start low, you stay low.
