Avantages

B Lab is a great place for getting your foot in the door in the sustainability nonprofit world. Everyone is really friendly and always eager to help you find the answers to your questions. You get to learn a lot about different companies and how they're working towards social/env sustainability.

Inconvénients

-we're told that our salary is "competitive" but never really told what we are comparing it too. we are also promised a "pay review" or "promotion review", but then when the day comes, we are told we need to improve our results or that we need to prove our "commitment". -it takes too long to be promoted, managers create these impossible goals that we are required to meet before we can even be considered for promotion. -decision making takes too long and you need to speak to about 5 different people who will give you different answers, and in the end, leadership is the one who makes the decision -our current work process is redundant and outdated, but we are never given the chance to voice our opinions or suggestions - we are just told to submit a proposal that goes into the void ("why change it if it's what we've always done" mentality) -workers are frequently expected to do things outside of their scope (with no remuneration) and management is spread too thin and is never prepared during meetings (and show up late)

Inconvénients

Everything B Lab assesses companies for, they fail at miserably. 1. Company lacks any real form of transparency, especially when it comes to salary and upwards movement. 2. Upper management seems to have maintained some level of racist sentiment for years now, unclear why. But if you aren't white, you will always be passed over for promotions or first selected for layoffs. This has been an ongoing theme. 3. Company pays WAY under market rate. There are no bonuses, and benefits are a joke. Good luck ever getting a legitimate raise regardless of how you perform. Despite this, upper-management still is making significantly more with very little transparency as to why. Pay cuts at the top level should have been how how this financial crisis was handled, especially since it was due to mismanaging funds for years. 4. Company has been bleeding out money for time now and it shows. This is frustrating as they always maintain a front of "everything is fine". Job security is a constant concern, as you are consistently waiting for the next round of layoffs due to running out of money. 5. They don't even stand for anything anymore. 5-6 years ago you could feel the passion of the company, in the way they spoke, how they actually believed in what they were doing. Sure it was a company and they had to find a balance, but they actually tried. Now they don't care and the standards for certification have dropped to the point that is meaningless. Now it's just about catering to companies that will give the most money. Which is a great short term solution for getting money, but will eventually dilute the B Lab brand and result in even less companies being interested in getting certified. 6. They don't listen....at all. Constant surveys of "What are we doing wrong? What could we be doing better" only to not take any of the advice and keep doing the same thing. It honestly seems like they are just sent out to make people FEEL like they are doing something.
