Pros

The HSUS is a huge force in the world of animal welfare, and serving the mission was one of the best things about working there. Great camaraderie and a creative work environment.

Cons

They need to work on top-down communications, and the pay is a huge issue. I don't know how they expect people to live in an expensive city like Washington, DC for what they pay. I believe the low pay leads to a lot of turnover in certain areas.

Pros

The mission - of course. Remote work Benefits are decent

Cons

Favoritism - people get promoted because they are friends with someone or because they are appropriately performative. Inept leadership - Very few of the people managers know how to manage people and/or business process. No strategic leadership - we have a mission, but the strategy doesn't trickle down to those doing the work. Siloed - Departments don't work together. It is common for other departments or even individuals in your own department to sabotage or undermine your work. Zero transparency - The Board is a mysterious entity that no one understands. C Suite doesn't communicate down. The C suite itself doesn't work with its members. Everyone is doing their own thing. C suite is disconnected from the real work. The C-suite micromanages and discounts the expertise of its team. Operationally deficient - very few business processes, no clear roles and responsibilities, top heavy, slow to no decision-making. My concerned with performative measures and optics.
