Pros

Every other Friday off + Nearly all federal holidays + 3-4 weeks of annual leave (4 weeks after year 2 of service). Some newer execs, who seem receptive to hearing staff and addressing some concerns. Overall pretty healthy work culture, compared to consulting/private sector equivalent environments.

Cons

Staff has lots of people with 15 - 20+ yrs of service, some can be a bit more resistant to change/innovation or at least need more convincing. Major nonprofit provides a high degree of financial security, but initiatives and budget are still fundraising dependent so can still have ups and downs.

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.
