Ventajas
1. Salary is competitive for people with graduate degrees. 2. Benefits are decent. 3. You can make an immediate impact that benefits animals (sometimes). 4. People working on the ground (not leadership) are inspiring and some of the most talented and hardworking people you will meet (too bad leadership exploits them!)
Desventajas
1) Culture: TERRIBLE place for anyone who is not a white, affluent, straight person with strong ties to christian/classist values. 2) Leadership: Absolute worst CEO and executive leadership team. I cannot stress this enough. Leadership is an absolute joke. Their ways of thinking are outdated and out of touch. They don't know how to run meetings. They have standards and values rooted in the 1990s corporate workplace. Not receptive to feedback. 3) HR: Terrible: no support for employees at at all; treat employees poorly. 4) Senior Managers: unqualified, bitter, easily threatened unreliable, pretentious. 5) Professional Development/Career Advancement: No opportunities to advance in your role and senior leaders who want to "move up" in the org will do everything they can do prevent you succeeding because they are easily threatened and want the minimal opportunities for advancement for themselves. Senior managers/directors see productive employees as a threat to them moving up the leader ladder. Worst offenders at the org: Leaders/Managers in Humane Law Enforcement, Strategy and Research and Legal Advocacy and Investigations, the People Team.
