      Pros

      TNC is a good organization with a great mission. People care about their jobs and are dedicated to the organization and many people stay for years.

      Cons

      Departments within the organization vary wildly, and for each person praising the work/life balance there’s another person working 60 hour weeks. For all the talk of flexible working arrangements, -this is totally dependent on your supervisor, and the structure of the organization means that your supervisor is the end of the line, so cross your fingers that you ended up with someone that had at least some training. There is a retention problem...many people love TNC at the beginning but get tired of the poor management and hierarchy after a few years. You won’t find many staff around for 5-10 years but there are some that make it more than 20. There is a reason for that gap in the middle-poor management and supervisors being given too much power over their staff. It’s easy for bad managers to hide in the bureaucracy here.

      Pros

      Some incredibly kind, smart, and passionate employees. Above average pay for a non-profit (could be better), fulfilling mission, great benefits (healthcare, PTO, 8% 401k match)

      Cons

      The higher up you go in the org, the worse it gets. Executive leadership is abysmal and they completely eroded trust in their ability to lead. Most of the C-suite needs to be replaced with people with higher EQ. Marketing in particular has an extremely toxic corporate culture that’s become immensely worse in the past 3-5 years. Layoffs were never a common occurrence, but in the last couple years, they happen with no rhyme or reason and those exact roles that were eliminated are seemingly reposted just mere weeks after folks are pushed out. Beware of what team you’re joining. It’s a mixed bag. Some amazing teams with incredible leadership, and some not.
