Pros

You learn a tremendous amount and are empowered to think and execute outside the box. You're also unionized and work with really smart, passionate and fun people.

Cons

Despite the efforts of the unions (there are two and without them things would be much worse), the pay is seriously low. The benefits are good, but in San Francisco, where the Sierra Club is headquartered, the cost of living is so high and the wages do not compete.

Pros

It was like this since the beginning

Cons

An executive who still works there kept asking certain people of color to create proposals he confirmed several times that he was very interested in hiring them for or giving them a contract. They spent hundreds of hours over years creating these propsals. Not only did he not pay them, he didn't even thank them.
