Pros

Employees below executive level are super hardworking. People really are dedicated to the cause and want to see this terrible disease make progress. You can make some solid working relationships with people on your team because everyone brings something different and is willing to work together. It’s also nice to see the effort the social committee puts into having fun events for employees! Manhattan Beach is beautiful and the office is very modern and there are good benefits.

Cons

High turnover rate due to incompetent leadership and making employees feel undervalued. It doesn’t look good when a CEO says in a staff meeting if you don’t do things the PanCAN way (her way), then you just don’t “fit”. Also most of the 5 star reviews after Jan. 2019 are fake from higher ups or a voluntold situation from leadership. If you speak up for yourself, be prepared to face retaliation and end up being fired for something arbitrary or quitting. I’ve seen a lot of good people go for dumb situations. Like most places, HR won’t do anything if you bring up issues. Harassment, gender discrimination, racism, and much more gets swept under the rug. The pay gap between execs and lower level employees is also discouraging. If you don’t have director attached to your title, be prepared to be paid below fair market value. There also seems to be some discrepancy at the exec level as well.

Pros

- Great company culture - Work life balance is great for a nonprofit - Empathetic, encouraging management - Generous PTO - Compensation is fair and better than other nonprofits I've worked for - It's a great cause, so you feel like you're making a true difference in the world

Cons

- The job can be emotionally taxing due to the nature of the disease - PanCAN is committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion but I feel they could be doing more to recruit diverse candidates - Minimal opportunities for advancement in certain departments
