      Pros

      Got a ton of experience and got to shape my career to gain the skills I wanted/needed to advance professionally. Strong alumni network - former employees go on to do great things. Met some nice famous people. Made friends I’ll keep for life. If I could do it over again I would still accept the role but lower my expectations for promotions or fair pay, keep my head down and avoid working to the point of burnout.

      Cons

      Negative reviews are accurate, textbook dysfunctional workplace. Most of leadership is inept and more concerned with optics than with furthering the mission (Grants VP and Producers excluded). Despite running the same basic campaign year after year, it was always a deeply chaotic and stressful process. Company culture was the worst of anywhere I’ve worked. Lots of talking the talk and not walking the walk. Homogeneous and very white at the top.

We rely on the diverse backgrounds of all of our team members - full-time or freelance to meet our fundraising goals.

      Pros

      I've worked in both the non profit and entertainment spaces for over 30yrs, and have seldom met with a more motivated, purpose-driven and savvy crew as the team at Comic Relief. I was inspired by their ability to keep driving towards success for the organization, while having real hearts and souls at the center of their work. I particularly found the leadership to be strong and clear, have been a rare delight to work with one some truly tough projects that would have failed under lesser team spirit and CEO guidance.

      Cons

      At times the small, ambitious team are over-committed when campaigns are in full swing. There can be a disconnect between remote team members and those mostly in the workspace. Streamlining of internal meetings and zooms at regular intervals would help to free up bandwidth across departments and make more time available for external communications.

      Wonderful mission and great values.

      Without a strong partnership, the organization faces much uncertainty.
