Business Outlook

Pros

Some flexibility, slightly better pay and benefits than most nonprofits.

Cons

Constant organizational chaos, incompetent Executive Director and senior staff, lack of commitment to values, completely toxic workplace for people of color, and desperately needs to be unionized. There's a lot of tunnel vision and group think at the senior level.

Lots of talk, little campaigning

Business Outlook

Pros

Smart, committed activist who think daily about how we can live in a better world but hampered by the inertia of 45 year old organization and constant restructuring.

Cons

This is not a campaigning organization - it's a well-intentioned Google Docs factory. 80% of time is to discuss what they're going to do instead of doing. Countless working groups are formed each year to devise theoretical, existential positions on environmental issues without any concrete action. More time spent talking internally than to the public. Democracy ethos gives way to a severe lack of executive leadership.

Pros

If you care about the environment and want to make a difference in a fun way this can be a great job. you get to work with enthusiastic people. My manager was great.

Cons

The organisation only cares about its activists and people that work in the office. Despite their claims, the actions don't show they care about fundraising people at all.
