We’re fortunate to fundraise for and partner with so many effective organizations and passionate people. Together, we’re tackling some of our nation’s biggest issues, like finding a permanent solution for Dreamers or unrigging the economy in order to provide opportunity for all. Those are certainly among the most rewarding things about working at Stand Together. Our team members are the most important driver of our impact and results, and we value each person’s contribution. We are moving more quickly than we ever have while building new capabilities to reach our ambitious goals. As we continue to scale and strengthen those capabilities, we won’t always get there as swiftly as we’d like, and we would love to understand the types of opportunities and trainings that would be the most valuable to our teammates. If you are open to a call, I’d value better understanding how we might have better equipped you in your role. –Nick Dunn

Pros

Resourceful and makes a good effort as a company overall to make sure employees are encouraged to share and contribute ideas. Welcoming to what you want to say than many other companies.

Cons

I can’t tell if it is other teams. But for my team the job has been very demanding, and being pushed to get things done faster and faster can be frustrating, especially when you are new are trying to learn and comprehend complex systems. Meetings can overload times to get any stuff done, and sometimes you can be micromanaged to a point you can become overtly stressed out. also if you are not a Republican, Libertarian, or at least pro Conservatism; you should keep that to yourself. Your political alignment like it or not can and will be used against you.
