Pros

NFPA is expanding its reach and depth when tackling the world's most pervasive fire, electrical, and related hazard challenges. The people are great to work with and collaboration is valued.

Cons

As the organization becomes more efficient (key to financial viability) it can be hard to see traditional activities fall by the wayside. The complex nature of fire safety means we sometimes have trouble focusing on just a few priorities, which stretches staff capacity.

Pros

The payscale NFPA uses means that people tend to get paid pretty well.

Cons

The environment is highly toxic, starting with the CEO. He's great at speaking and seeming like he cares about people and the company when presenting publicly, but he's a very different, mean-spirited person in more private meetings. Nothing pleases him more than attacking others and getting those around him to agree that he is always "directionally correct," which is a term I've never heard before or since, but heard all the time from the VPs. If anyone has to deal with him or the sycophants he's hired around him in the C-suite, your time at NFPA will likely be miserable. If you don't have to deal with them, you might be OK at NFPA.
