Lots of talk, little campaigning

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

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

If you care about the environment and want to make a difference in a fun way this can be a great job. you get to work with enthusiastic people. My manager was great.

Cons

The organisation only cares about its activists and people that work in the office. Despite their claims, the actions don't show they care about fundraising people at all.

Pros

Relaxed office environment, great company culture, decent pay, no formal attire, some level of freedom on the job.

Cons

High employee turnover rate, unsafe working conditions, unpaid travel time, fire people before bonuses set in, anti-corporation but run the office with a corporate structure, and there is no job security.
