Pros
- Rewarding work with a company that is creating real change for millions of animals - Incredibly nice, smart, dedicated colleagues; very few bullies/monster egos - Dogs in the office program makes daily grind easier - Good benefits overall; telecommuting is mostly supported in positions that allow for it
Cons
- Low pay by the standards of other area nonprofits, and especially compared to other national nonprofits - Lack of cohesion in certain program areas; success of each department is driven not only by its own leadership but by how its leadership interacts with C-suite level, leading to perceptions of favoritism - Work experience hugely determined by what manager you end up under; there are some really good ones and some that need help - Seems to be constantly re-organizing certain key departments; high turnover in those areas - If you want work/life balance, you'll have to seek it out; tends to be a 24/7 culture and that is worse in certain departments
