Pros

Benefits, Benefits, Benefits. One of the most robust vacation and sick leave packages offered in the area: Four weeks vacation and more than two and a half weeks sick PLUS three days family medical leave. Maternity/Paternity leave also offered at ten days per year. Retirement is funded based on your age and contributions range from five to fifteen percent. Yes, up to fifteen percent of your earnings are contributed on your behalf. Additionally, RFF subsidizes/pays toward your healthcare--and you can opt-out--take those employer contributions as a cash benefit. You won't find anyone offering benefits like this which is why it is THE selling point if you're looking for a complete package--and not solely focused on salary.

Cons

Salary, but as a non-profit 'green' job, you should expect this coming in to any non-profit in the Metro Region. The retirement contributions are age-driven and I'd prefer them to offer the same to all employees (the full fifteen percent) as this feels like an age discrimination thing--with the advantage being on those with more time spent on the planet.

Pros

- The people: you are working alongside some of the best and brightest in their field and to be a collaborator among such a phenomenal group of people is genuinely energizing. There is a lot of camaraderie among staff. Lots of opportunity to be social with one another. - Pay transparency and equity: The organization maintains pay transparency associated with job titles. Every title sits within a specific pay range which ensures that everyone knows what pay range a person sits within and can expect to be within themselves. Historically, the organization really prioritized equity, though that seems to be a priority that is falling more and more to the wayside in the last year.

Cons

- Career opportunities only really exist in the sense that working here is a great resume builder. There is a real reputational boon to working here. But there is really not any possibility for upward mobility, despite leadership misleadingly suggesting that they are eager to promote staff. - There was a change in CEO around 2024, and since then, the executive team as a whole has really gone downhill. Some have quit, while others were surreptitiously pushed out with no believable explanation. HR staff were laid off, while other non-essential staff were kept on due to their close proximity to executive leadership. It is clear that some of these new executives are lacking in proper experience to perform their duties, especially with regards to things like HR. There is also now a serious lack of transparency compared to the previous team. It has left all staff feeling uneasy and unsure about stability in the organization.
