Pros

- The mission. This organization isn’t just tackling one of the biggest issues in the world, but is doing so we great commitment and with an eye towards justice and equality. As a person committed to human rights and making a positive impact in this world, I wouldn’t want to have worked anywhere else right after my graduation. - The staff is really passionate about the mission but more than that, I found everyone to be really kind, helpful and cheerful. - The amazing work culture of the office, which is committed to justice, equity and inclusivity.

Cons

- As it is a nonprofit in NYC, office space is a bit limited and there may not be a lot of private space to work. However, they have sufficient communal spaces and possibility to work from home if needed.

Pros

WhyHunger's has gone through a lot of soul searching and reorganization over the past few years. Staff has pulled together fiercely and support each other - and it's refreshing to see this. This happened under very steady, transparent leadership of its current executive director. I see below that Bill Ayres is still listed as ED. He hasn't had that role for several years. The current ED is Noreen Springstead. And she is terrific. I was second of the most senior staff (37 years) at the time of my departure. I am moving on to a new chapter - and have nothing but gratitude for the support I received from staff and board as I pursued my dream career. I am so proud of WhyHunger's work and of my contribution to it.

Cons

Like many not-for-profits, funding work takes a lot of work and the fundraising staff could benefit from a strong support staff. Funding has diversified from being primarily dependent on 1-2 special events / campaigns ... but funding is still challenging. The work, however makes the struggle very worthwhile.

Pros

The model and theory behind the work is correct given the organization's role in the world of anti-hunger advocacy. Enthusiastic, talented people who are excited about the work they're doing and it shows. My direct managers were always helpful, communicative, and invested in my personal development and happiness at the organization.

Cons

Some staff changes at the time had left us understaffed, particularly in important programmatic work Much of the work supports other organizations, and from a development standpoint the line between advocating for yourselves and taking credit for others achievements can be difficult to navigate A feast/famine model in regards to both work and funding - some periods had long hours and weekends in preparation for events while others were very easy and flexible.
