The Nature Conservancy

Engaged employer

Great place to work until, it isn't. It's mostly a game of smoke and mirrors that exploits conservationists and donors. - Preserve Manager The Nature Conservancy Employee Review

Pros

Working to promote conservation, not micromanaged, lots of on the job training, work in beautiful areas protecting and restoring wonderful ecological habitats. Many passionate people work here which was wonderful to experience the camaraderie.

Cons

Lack of HR support, expectations to work extremely long hours, high turnover for a reason, and they will push you towards burnout then reprimand you when it inevitably occurs. One supervisor can make or break the employee. The culture rewards those that learn to do very little, but blow their own horn. After dedicating myself for ten years to the organization, I learned to be very productive and successful which becomes threatening to those who spend their time taking credit for your work.

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.
