Strong Mission Makes It Worthwhile
|
|
The organization's mission is important, and so it's hard not to care about the work. Also, many of the employees are great teammates, which makes the work even more enjoyable.
|
Many felt overworked. This largely depends on the role and team.

Family UNFRIENDLY
|
|
Many great colleagues and good cause
|
NPF has fired (without cause), laid off, forced into new positions, or steamrolled the vast majority of young mothers who have worked for the organization in the last 5-7 years. There is no flexibility for parents and the culture is such that if you take time away, even during the pandemic, you will be blacklisted. The pace is ridiculous, with not-actually-urgent fire drills coming down from the C-Suite more than weekly, and senior leaders within the organization uncaring if that complicates schedules for parents juggling childcare and work expectations.
Leadership is out of touch and egotistical - unsurprising for a group of rich, old, white men, but disappointing for a cause like the national parks that should be democratic. Seriously, some of them even brag about their forefathers coming over on the Mayflower or being governors 3 or 4 generations back. All they really care about it is their own legacy, even to the point of driving away good employees.

Not an enjoyable place to work at all.
|
|
Very friendly CEO, great HR department, and has a fantastic mission.
|
Very poorly managed team, little to no cross team collaboration, nobody was happy there. Very high turnover due to the poor work culture. All work was completed alone at your desk with little room for thought or innovation. Immediate supervisors did not provide much background or information to anyone on the team. I truly dreaded coming to work everyday.

Train your employees don't leave them to figure it out. Team was very young and inexperienced - management had their favorites and was hesitant to let others in. My immediate senior leadership was downright rude to myself and others on the team behind close doors - unacceptable.

Amazing Culture and People
|

This is my first grad job. If you are looking to join a non-profit that infuses the passion it has for its mission into every aspect of the job experience, I would definitely apply here.
NPF cares about representation, employee well-being and empowering each member of the team to grow professionally. I have felt in my time here that my colleagues care about me as a person, and that I have access to the executives, even at an entry level. It is big enough where you always feel like you are learning , but not so big that you couldn't get to know every single one of your colleagues if you put in the effort.
The HR department ROCKS! They plan wellness fairs, the benefits are great, and they invest in making you feel seen, heard, and work to resolve any problems you may have.

I don't have any major complaints.

Wake up knowing you're doing good for the world

My parents always told me to find something I am passionate about, and find a way to make money doing it. Working for the National Park Foundation (NPF) has provided that special combination. The NPF team is hard working, and 200% committed to the preservation and betterment of our incomparable national parks. It's an inspiring group to be a part of. The work culture is also top notch. People take great pride in their work, and at the same time, NPF recognizes that everyone has interests, family, and commitments outside of the office. All around, this is fantastic organization and I feel very fortunate to be on the team.
|
The retirement match and vacation are not quite as favorable as I had with previous employers, but they seem standard for the industry.
