Pros

Good staff training on service topics.

Cons

Lack of gender equality in staff and membership! BEWARE! Teams of women expected to service needs of demanding, wealthy men. No work/life balance. 24/7 culture is helpful to members but horrible for staff. I worked 14-16 hour days regularly, and this was expected. Culture of fear with regular restructuring! CEO loves to try "flavor of the day" organizational structures.

YPO Response

Thank you for your feedback and insights. Like every organization, YPO is not the environment for everyone. YPO has a strong culture as a fast-paced organization made up of predominately female professionals with approximately 65% of the workforce working remotely in 27 different countries. With a highly engaged workforce who is committed to the organization’s mission, we are focused on the work/life aspect for our people. YPO is undergoing dynamic changes from technology to strategy to ensure relevancy for our future membership. These exciting times naturally bring about stress from changes while delivering top programs to the YPO membership.

Pros

Learning environment, opportunity to work on projects/work to build your skillset, part of CEO's learning journey.

Cons

Lots of backstabbing and egos amongst CEOs. ELT members in relationships with members and have the ability to manipulate outcomes that favor their preference.
