Business outlook
Pros
The industry sounds impactful on paper. You’ll gain exposure to high-level stakeholders and policy work. Decent pay and benefits compared to some nonprofits but they roll back benefits every chance they get.
Cons
Current CEO Alex Dunn and HR lack leadership and integrity. Leadership talks about ethics, respect, and collaboration but rarely demonstrates it. A culture of favoritism and silencing; concerns are brushed aside or outright ignored. Lack of accountability from management; when issues arise, blame is pushed down instead of addressed. Employees are expected to overextend themselves with little recognition or support. Raises and promotions are inconsistent and often political.
