Pros

Colleagues are top-notch, the work is personally satisfying and inspirational, the mission is noble and gratifying (to protect the lands and waters on which all life depends).

Cons

It is a highly decentralized organization, and reorganizations in the various operating units happens frequently. Because of the decentralization, there is no strategy for keeping long standing, highly qualified and successful employees (for example, by simply moving them to another operating unit). Therefore, many terrific people leave the organization, often times to return years later (which speaks highly to working at the Conservancy).

Pros

Some incredibly kind, smart, and passionate employees. Above average pay for a non-profit (could be better), fulfilling mission, great benefits (healthcare, PTO, 8% 401k match)

Cons

The higher up you go in the org, the worse it gets. Executive leadership is abysmal and they completely eroded trust in their ability to lead. Most of the C-suite needs to be replaced with people with higher EQ. Marketing in particular has an extremely toxic corporate culture that’s become immensely worse in the past 3-5 years. Layoffs were never a common occurrence, but in the last couple years, they happen with no rhyme or reason and those exact roles that were eliminated are seemingly reposted just mere weeks after folks are pushed out. Beware of what team you’re joining. It’s a mixed bag. Some amazing teams with incredible leadership, and some not.
