Pros

Good mission and important work.

Cons

Leadership is in total disarray and good people are leaving without having jobs to go to. Total lack of direction, total lack of trust in staff, pet projects with huge price tags are being launched that have little likelihood of success. The culture is totally toxic and dysfunctional.

Pros

The payscale NFPA uses means that people tend to get paid pretty well.

Cons

The environment is highly toxic, starting with the CEO. He's great at speaking and seeming like he cares about people and the company when presenting publicly, but he's a very different, mean-spirited person in more private meetings. Nothing pleases him more than attacking others and getting those around him to agree that he is always "directionally correct," which is a term I've never heard before or since, but heard all the time from the VPs. If anyone has to deal with him or the sycophants he's hired around him in the C-suite, your time at NFPA will likely be miserable. If you don't have to deal with them, you might be OK at NFPA.
