Pros

the mission is sound. the attorneys were nice, for the most part. new office location is an improvement over downtown Oakland.

Cons

the different departments don't work together well. communications was often at odds with development. lots of money (donor money) was squandered. ineffective communication strategies hamstrung progress. internal politics/bickering wastes time.

Pros

I have never worked at a place quite like Earthjustice. It is, truly, the strongest example I know of doing good work well. So many organizations are striving to achieve what Earthjustice has already established as foundation. I couldn't be more proud to work here.

Cons

The single con that comes to mind is simply the rapid growth the organization has experienced. That itself isn't a con, but all of the things that come with that can be challenging. These challenges are more than mitigated by the truly collaborative and courageous spirit that is universal here, though. We will get there.

Pros

Earthjustice is one of the few nonprofits that practices what it preaches. It’s invested in its staff and treats them well. And they do good work on top of it. My hours are very manageable and my time off and benefits are great. I am proud and happy to work here.

Cons

I love working here. I don’t have anything negative to say.
