Vantaggi

Amazingly smart, talented, dedicated staff Feels like a family Broad national reach, decent budget, and high profile connections makes it a fun, exciting place to work. Intangible benefits like leftover giveaways from promotional partners, events with celebrities, etc. GLSEN's work with students and local chapters connects you to on-the-ground, in-the-trenches transformational work Important mission Data- & research-driven approach to programming means you know why you're doing the work, exactly what the work is, and whether or not it's effective

Svantaggi

Leadership values employees (assistants, associates, managers) very little. There were "restructures" which included layoffs before, during, and after my time there which eliminated valuable positions while retraining more senior leadership staff that are clearly ineffective and/or contributing to a negative culture Staff turnover is through the roof. In my time there, at least 17 people left (out of a staff of around 30)

Vantaggi

great work life balance and decent pay

Svantaggi

this job was great until the org needed to navigate a fiscal cliff. a year after those layoffs, I'm still left wondering why the staff was handled the way they were. money issues are real, to be sure, but everything could have been handled far more humanely. the only thing that seems to make sense of the actions that followed was that senior leadership was devoid of any strategy for how to move forward and decided to spend their efforts preserving their own reputations. prior to the layoffs, it was a decent place to work if you could keep your head down and avoid getting caught up in the usually office politics of ego. can't really speak to what it might be like post-layoffs.

We’re very sorry to hear that your experience working at GLSEN wasn’t reflective of the work environment we strive to achieve. Layoffs due to financial constraints are never easy. As a nonprofit, we are subject to what the donor/funding landscape holds and as you know, we are living in a volatile and unfriendly political landscape that unfortunately created a situation that was untenable.
