Benefits are golden handcuffs

Pros

Fully remote, fully-employer paid health benefits, generous time off are all just examples of the amazing benefits of working at USGBC. Mission-based organization, impactful work, wonderful and passionate staff are also pros.

Cons

Constant changes, some of which are jarring and exclusionary. Management doesn't always support professional development goals if they mean a staff member will grow into a different department, despite HR constantly expressing this as a company value.

Great Cause, Toxic Workplace

Pros

Impactful mission and the opportunity to do work that matters.

Cons

- Leadership & Vision: The organization lacks clear direction and strategic leadership. Chaos and disorganization are abundant; without defined organizational KPIs or consistent communication about expectations, it is difficult for staff to measure success. - Professional Growth: There is no established path for internal advancement. This lack of investment in staff makes the environment feel stagnant, regardless of an individual’s performance or dedication. - Culture & Retention: The workplace is characterized by low trust and excessive micromanagement. There is a troubling pattern of high-performing staff departing unexpectedly without justification, which has damaged morale and undermined institutional continuity.
