Current Employee – been working at Planned Parenthood part-time for more than a year

Pros – Planned Parenthood is doing some of the most important work in the country. Politically, it's an outstandingly positive force. The community of employees is incredibly close, warm, and supportive. Also, you often get free condoms/materials depending on your department.

Cons – I can't think of much except that occasionally, you'll get a negative response when you tell someone you work at PP.

Former Employee – worked at Planned Parenthood full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Cutting edge public policy, community organizing tools at your fingertips. Fast paced, mostly enthusiastic staff.

Cons – Working here is a non-stop battle for public support. Be prepared to be the controversial member of your family and never be able to leave work at work.

Advice to Senior Management – I wish they would consider their impact on the wider impact on women and not so focused on aggressive battle for the right to choose. Need to care for employees better and embrace broader perspectives on abortion.
