Pros

100% employer-paid health premiums (medical, dental, vision). Everyone gets to work from home at least one day a week. The staff are great; I've made a lot of good friends. Pay is better than most non-profits, although how much you make varies depending on which project(s)/funding source you're on.

Cons

There are a LOT of changes happening right now: loss of funding, new CEO (who was the old COO), a TON of turnover of employees...morale is pretty low, and no one really feels like we're getting enough information about the future of the organization to feel comfortable (hence the turnover). Staff are constantly asked for our opinions, but then our input is ignored.

Trailhead Institute Response

As we enter a new search for our next executive director, we're taking this feedback especially to heart. Morale in particular is top of mind for the team and we address this through lots of communication. Over the last 5 years we've conducted two comprehensive salary surveys to ensure that our salaries are competitive and the ranges are transparent. Our Director of Philanthropy builds strong relationships with funders who are invested in public health solutions. We always have something to learn - the key is that we incorporate these lessons as our organization grows and matures. Thank you for this critical and helpful feedback!

Pros

Some of the best pay I have seen a nonprofit offer, 10% match on 401k, fully covered health benefits, 2k a year in professional development, 16-20 days of PTO + 120 days of sick leave

Cons

HR is a bit shady, don't always practice what they preach, lack of accountability for executive leadership
