Pros

Large organization with apple opportunity to develop a career supporting conservation. Mentorship programs exist and cross training opportunities exist, but you must seek them out yourself.

Cons

Work experience is highly dependent on the quality of your manager. Managerial training is minimal and management of direct reports is often treated as a "perk" for long time service with TNC rather than a need of the organization or the skills of the individual managing staff. This results in many middle management positions that are not needed and managers who are not prepared for or suited to their responsibilities to lead teams. Most are performers of a given expertise (like sales or operations) and as such are still expected to perform such tasks while managing a team. This can often result in managerial responsibilities and staff development coming second to completing more familiar, defined projects with deadlines.

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.
