Pros

- Working for a cause I believe in - Vegan office - Working with like-minded people - Ability to take leave if your companion animal passes away

Cons

- Long hours fostered by a culture of encouraging being a workaholic - Very low pay, pretty much unlivable unless you have a partner who makes decent money - Not great opportunities for growth - Pretty poor benefits (low 401K matching that takes 2 years to vest in, medical is a lot out of pocket) - High burnout and turnover - Unqualified people being promoted because of longevity, not because of skill - Extreme micromanaging

Thanks very much for the review. Although we wish you had a better experience at the PETA Foundation, reviews like these are reminders that we can always do better. Since the time you shared your feedback here on Glassdoor, we've made some changes and are still working on making improvements, including the onboarding process for new staff members. This feedback has been shared with our management team to remind them of how we can continue to grow and we appreciate you sharing this with us. We're very sorry again to hear about your negative experience and wish you all the best. Please continue helping animals!

Working for a nonprofit will not be highly lucrative, but you will be compensated in so many other valuable ways!
