Great mission and work life balance. NextUp has leaders that care about their employees.
Cons
Entitled staffed members. Many employees believe because it's a mission based organization they can get away with things that you would never see in a for profit.

Business Outlook
Pros
- Fully remote work environment
- Opportunities to attend national and regional events
- Strong, mission-driven organization
Cons
- Excessive virtual meetings that frequently run over time and often end without clear decisions or actionable next steps
- Senior Leadership Team (SLT) members holding dual roles or overseeing departments outside their areas of expertise
- Largely absent or ineffective IT and HR teams
- Lack of updated training and onboarding resources for new hires
- Frequent before/after-hours “urgent” communications from CEO, many of which could reasonably wait until regular business hours.
