Pros

Benefits are good: work from home is flexible, health benefits are fully covered, etc. Pay is pretty decent for a nonprofit.

Cons

Morale is very low, lots of turnover, change/improvements move at a glacial pace, disconnect between leadership/the board and staff, limited upward mobility, and there’s no dedicated development staff so it often feels like sink or swim with finding more grant funding to fund your position.

Trailhead Institute Response

This input has informed a lot of change over the last 5 years. We're intentional about building a work culture where people feel connected, even in a primarily remote environment, and retention is stable. We still have work to do around the flow of decision-making. As a small org, upward mobility is an issue although we're building out more entry level roles for the public health workforce. The director's team has taken a more proactive role in collectively working on sustainability. As a learning organization, we aim to learn from our mistakes and appreciate this input. Thank you!

Pros

Some of the best pay I have seen a nonprofit offer, 10% match on 401k, fully covered health benefits, 2k a year in professional development, 16-20 days of PTO + 120 days of sick leave

Cons

HR is a bit shady, don't always practice what they preach, lack of accountability for executive leadership
