Pros

Smart, committed activist who think daily about how we can live in a better world but hampered by the inertia of 45 year old organization and constant restructuring.

Cons

This is not a campaigning organization - it's a well-intentioned Google Docs factory. 80% of time is to discuss what they're going to do instead of doing. Countless working groups are formed each year to devise theoretical, existential positions on environmental issues without any concrete action. More time spent talking internally than to the public. Democracy ethos gives way to a severe lack of executive leadership.

Pros

Flexibility and time off benefits

Cons

Very unstable environment. Lots of turnover in higher roles. Will let people go because of financial reasons and expect the remaining employees to combine their role with 3-4 other roles with no additional pay
