Pros

Good staff training on service topics.

Cons

Lack of gender equality in staff and membership! BEWARE! Teams of women expected to service needs of demanding, wealthy men. No work/life balance. 24/7 culture is helpful to members but horrible for staff. I worked 14-16 hour days regularly, and this was expected. Culture of fear with regular restructuring! CEO loves to try "flavor of the day" organizational structures.

Thank you for your feedback and insights. Like every organization, YPO is not the environment for everyone. YPO has a strong culture as a fast-paced organization made up of predominately female professionals with approximately 65% of the workforce working remotely in 27 different countries. With a highly engaged workforce who is committed to the organization’s mission, we are focused on the work/life aspect for our people. YPO is undergoing dynamic changes from technology to strategy to ensure relevancy for our future membership. These exciting times naturally bring about stress from changes while delivering top programs to the YPO membership.

Pros

1. Flexibility in working location and hours is key. The goal is to get your work done and do a great job. There's no one watching to see if you start at 7 or 9 am though, which I highly treasure. 2. Opportunities to expand your worldview and possibly travel too. So many companies put you in a bubble of information and opportunity; not YPO. You will learn and grow simply by being in the midst of members and upper management. 3. Open minded colleagues to work and play with! I've never worked with a more diverse group of intelligent and interesting people. It makes the long days shorter and when we do go out after a long day or at the completion of an event, it is with lots of laughter and fun.

Cons

1. Work / life balance is a little off. Some departments are REALLY bad at it, while others respect your time more. Personally, I'm doing well with the balance, but because the workload is so high and your customers - the members - are world wide, it can be exhausting and tough to find balance here. 2. Pay is lower than the average for my skill set in my area of expertise. Maybe that won't apply to you - I've heard that some people make great money here - but it is a common theme that because they are not-for-profit we work for the mission, not the money. 3. Continuous change. This could be a pro for some of course :) but it can be difficult too. Because we have a new chairman every year, many things change yearly. You must be comfortable with change to survive here.

Pros

I joined YPO this year and have had a blast. My role is challenging with a lot of stretch goals. I love that I get to own the work and have gotten to develop some pretty amazing relationships with my peers and other colleagues around the organization. It makes the work and the work day a lot of fun. Our Senior Leadership team is a exceptional. Both our CEO and COO are active members, so they understand and have reaped the benefits personally of what YPO is all about - making Better Leaders Through Education and Idea Exchange. My team is great - we support, challenge and encourage each other as well as laugh and celebrate our successes. They made me feel welcome even before I started as did the HR team. I'm told the HR team has undergone a complete change this past year. My experience has been wonderful. They were terrific throughout the interview and on-boarding processes. Each person I got to interact with were very professional, timely in responding and proactive in sharing information and answering my newbie questions. A few of the perks of YPO includes flexibility with nearly 65% of our employees working remotely and for those in positions that travel - we get to visit great global cities and stay in some pretty amazing hotels. For those of us working in the Dallas office, it is centrally located which makes the commute not so bad. The office also offers great views of Lake Carolyn in Las Colinas and the Dallas skyline. YPO is a great place to work!

Cons

We are a membership organization which causes some confusion for our regional based member focused positions. I've heard some say they report to the members when in fact, they do not. We all serve the members and report into our management team leaders. YPO is growing up. We are setting goals, measuring ourselves to a set of competencies and goal performance - much like most other organizations. We have access to incredible tools and resources - that I don't think many employees realize these can benefit us and our individual growth and development too. YPO exists to help young presidents' grow their skill-sets through both education and idea exchange, I think we can grow ourselves using these same tools and resources. It's really a wonderful opportunity for those who seek it out!
