Pros

The impact that the organization makes for animals around the world. Dogs in the workplace program. Flexible hours.

Cons

There are so many great people who work here, but morale is very low in many departments because there is cronyism and a dictatorial leadership structure. HR is in the pocket of the executives and the board has no idea what's going on because staff has been told not to reach out to them. There are several inappropriate relationships within the structure, that result in the people who are friends with the executives having a say in large decisions and others being silenced because they don't/can't run up to their friends in high places. Salary is low and only people with connections to the top can get anything done. HR is a mess, with only a couple people able to help staff. The executive staff uses the important mission to keep people here, instead of paying them an appropriate salary and treating them fairly. The culture is that everyone except for people at the very top are replaceable. In fact many people believe that the executives want turnover in order to bring new people in at lower salaries.

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.
