Pros

Being off every other Friday nothing else

Cons

As an assistant, you will be locked down in that position and be given every excuse possible on why you won’t be promoted no matter how hard you work / how much new responsibilities you take on. Whatever department you land in will abuse the support they get from you. Having you do things that nears wiping their behinds for them, literally. No accountability from upper management. They are in a clique, very gang like mentality. Upper management and managers wastes hundreds of thousands of dollars every year on frivolous business trips overseas. They take trips then turn them into personal vacation excursions. It’s a shame how they use animals/environment to waste the public’s and government’s dollars/euros. The Buzzfeed report is true!!! WWF is using a phony internal review to sweep the truth under the rug.

Pros

I worked for a long time as a consultant, lots of clients, lots of different companies, lots of personalties, lots of corporate climbing, etc. And eventually turned around one day and decided I wanted a mission I could care about, and a place that was culturally great. Those became my criteria, and WWF has been everything I've wanted. This place is filled with smart and passionate people, and I can go home every night feeling like I'm doing my part to help the world, which overrides much of the daily issues anyone faces in any job. The benefits are outstanding, there is great listening from most quarters of the organization, and the work means something.

Cons

It is a large organization, as such, there is bureaucracy, and a big ship moves slower than a small one. However, positive internal change does happen, and I believe the Senior Management Team wants this to be a great place, and works towards making that happen—it is the best organization I've ever worked for.
