Pros

Better than average pay, some flexibility to work from home, opportunities to advance your learning in unexpected ways, often travel, the work feels meaningful.

Cons

Very little leadership around our mission and fundraising. Planning happens weeks out from something, very disorganized and constant chaos. Often times people, especially managers, are only promoted based on arbitrary reasons not based on skill levels. Lots of time spent on internal processes that go nowhere versus actually doing "the work". People of color, working moms, LGBT folks, and folks with disabilities will experience lots of bad comments, probably won't be listened to, and will be accused of being too sensitive. Expect lots of double speak...for example, there is an internal document that respects Indigenous People's rights, but it's rarely used.

Pros

Staff is very passionate about the environment and inspires/encourages each other daily. Awesome organization that has a history of defending/protecting our planet.

Cons

Absolutely no job security. Super stressful to meet weekly quotas. They tell you not to stress about making it, but if you don't make it for 2 weeks you're fired.... so stressing becomes second nature.
