Pros

**NOTE** Many of the reviews on this page are for students who engage in membership/leadership in Enactus clubs on campus, not who work for Enactus/Enactus USA HQ. +Our network of students and faculty is on-board and passionate about the mission to be part of a better, more sustainable world. They are often proactive about opportunities and develop projects that are innovative, sustainable, socially-minded, and/or entrepreneurial in nature. +Other RPMs were very engaged in the mission and a pleasure to work with.

Cons

- Terrible leadership at the international and national levels impede organizational stability and growth - For an org centered on innovation and good business principles, Enactus cannot effectively innovate or maintain a budget. Numerous layoffs have wreaked havoc on the staff's sense of security. -Innovations promoted by senior leaders are not sustained. As a staff member, any new projects/programs I had to implement changes in operations on my own with little internal buy in and little/no budget. If it went well, then it was claimed as an organizational success and replicated. If it did not have the intended impact, I was ostracized and humiliated. - Toxic work culture with little accountability and lots of office gossip. Perceived factions do little to unify the organization in the face of an uncertain future. -CEO Rachael Jarosh does not know how to work with others and garner trust. -Big disconnect between funding mechanisms and donor expectations, student/faculty expectations, and expectations of staff. -HR does not function appropriately. Nothing can be said in confidence and processes are not followed to resolve issues - especially between staff and a senior leader. -Very little racial diversity as part of Enactus international / Enactus USA.
