- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
amazing culture with likeminded people
Cons
poor salary and long hours
- Former Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Loved working there because of the people
Cons
Definitely a lack of work-life balance
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
Cool people usually Easy work if you don't get into it too much Slightly less scummy feeling than working for a megacorp Feels good to see bunch of people get access to a hospital based on your work
Cons
Will never give you a raise, ever Will lie about why you won't get a raise Will not help you develop your skills professionally Will pay political allies speaking fees of over 200k while claiming theres no budget for cost of living raises (that's ~100 employees worth of 1.5% raises, by the way) Huge ego from senior staff and owners, to the point of being unable to take criticism Cult-like obsession with their values, which they promptly forget about if one of the big donors needs something Agreeing with leadership is more important than trying to do your job correctly

- Former Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
Great learning opportunities for young people
Cons
Shut down due to a political scandal.
- Current Employee, more than 3 years★★★★★
Pros
- amazing growth opportunities (due to the younger demographic of employees, high turnover, and mentality of learning as you grow, it could take you just a 2-5 years to go from coordinator to manager to associate director, whereas in other corporate settings, this could take close to a decade - diversity of work experience: depending on your area of interests, it is quite easy to take on tasks and trainings in most business-related fields - unparalleled networking opportunities - with coworkers, management, and high-touch stakeholders (political, entertainment, corporate, charitable, etc)
Cons
- compensation - like any non-profit, you're only making about half what you'd make if you were working in the private or public sector - with an overall younger demographic of employees, most people in management positions aren't as experienced as those you'd find in other professional settings; work politics, friendships, and a generally more millennial work culture sometimes interfere with decisions and work that require more unbiased professional thinking/conduct

Pros
Working with kids and seeing their passion to help others build. The impact was incredibly fulfilling.
Cons
Executive management knows the work is fulfilling and staff will take pay cuts, miserably hard work, and poor treatment to continue doing the work.
- Former Employee★★★★★
Pros
Great people and sense of team. Interesting connections with government funders, corporate partners. Great opportunity to broaden perspective of nonprofit work in Canada.
Cons
Limited growth opportunities for experienced professionals; Concerning optimism for some projects without considering critical histories and lived experiences of recipients.
- Former Employee, more than 5 years★★★★★
They're getting what they deserve now in the media for their crookedness and greed of money
RecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
