Pros

Some of the people are nice. Young organization so your role is very flexible.

Cons

This organization is totally dysfunctional. None of the systems have been thought through, and they change weekly. Management is manipulative, gaslights staff over real concerns, and actively engages in discrimination. The culture is incredibly toxic. While my comments may sound like those of a petty, scorned employee, I can assure you that they are not. This company has a great mission on paper but its execution is ineffective, counterproductive, and in some cases, harmful. Avoid like the plague.

Pros

Lead For America stands out as an exceptional nonprofit national service organization led by a visionary CEO and supported by an exceptional staff. Being a part of this organization has been a deeply fulfilling aspect of my career, allowing me the opportunity to contribute meaningfully. I value the numerous professional development opportunities provided and find satisfaction in working within this dynamic and expanding environment.

Cons

We are growing quickly, so it can be challenging to find top talent as positions open. Rapid growth presents opportunities for evolving structures and roles, and team members need to be adaptable and embrace change as processes evolve.
