      Pros

      Name brand in the non-profit space, and been around for over 40 years.

      Cons

      "Leadership and management issues contribute to a toxic work culture. Quotas were raised to unsustainable levels without adequate compensation for employees. Customer support is severely lacking, leading to long-term trust issues with clients. High turnover is a major concern—I had four managers in 2.5 years, and 9 out of 14 reps left last year alone. The base salary is low, and some territories offer limited opportunities. Additionally, inbound leads are scarce, and AEs are expected to meet a high volume of metrics."

      Pros

      Blackbaud is an outstanding place to work. The remote-first culture is a big bonus, but the people and the mission really make it what it is. They are well resourced and put a lot of care into making their employees feel seen, valued and respected. The leadership teams make it a priority to have healthly discourse and ensure accountability from all team members. I love it here!

      Cons

      Long hours but it is worth it because it is a great place to work!

      Pros

      Flexible remote work environment and good PTO

      Cons

      Extremely toxic sales culture here with boys club and clear favoritism. Sales director and VP are the reason for this as they are extremely unprofessional. Mass exodus is for a reason and unsure why HR is ignoring claims on sexism and favoritism with every female employee that seems to be leaving. No career growth or opportunities unless you are part of the boys club here as it is apparently and obvious. Ask the right questions before considering a job here. You are unable to be successful here with onboarding because of completely out of touch and delusional sales trainers. Seems like we are in a complete clown show here!
