Pros

Flexible work arrangement/schedule Great colleagues Excellent collaboration (at the junior/mid-manager level) Opportunity to work on amazing things Compensation is fair as they recently had a third party evaluate market value and suggest adjustments

Cons

Don’t let the NPT Power & Influence Top 50 list/award deceive you. Simply put, CEO Barron Segar is a narcissist and the definition of an ineffective leader who has the privilege of being a white man. He has never led an organization before, and it shows internally. Segar comes off as caring, but he will fire anyone at the drop of a hat, and only cares about you, if it benefits him or if you stroke his ego. Segar’s fiery personality leads to in-fighting within the leadership for resources and recognition. This trickles down to a toxic environment for everyone down. The SLT claims to care about culture and values, but everything points to them not caring about their staff and only themselves. Staff does not get recognized for their contributions - unless it promotes Segar - and get chastised for minor mistakes. Also, Segar’s favorites are constantly rewarded - high praise at staff meetings, promotions, etc. - for brownnosing, which means mediocrity and incompetence are celebrated. All in all, the culture is a mess.

Pros

- Great work life balance - For a nonprofit, very competitve salary - Everyone is very kind and supportive - Match 401k up to 6%

Cons

In the past few years, they have changed their promotion process, and it has left a disconnect between managers and the senior leadership. Managers are advocating for their reports to be promoted, but senior leadership is denying them based on this new process.
