Most of the "managers" micromanage, but then there are some that you can never get to help you at all. They throw you to the wolves and hope you figure it out on your own. They let a lot of folks go during their "expenditure reduction", as the CEO called it, who were an asset to the company and the ones who were let go didn't have a clue it was coming.  Communication is terrible and they love playing the blame game. Do yourself a favor and look into another non-profit organization.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
In my experience the environment in the department I worked in was the worst i have ever experienced 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Daily duties and other assignments

-A typical day was spent loading/unloading cargo and shipping items using UPS and FedEx logistical software.

-I learned how to do inventory and use logistical software.

-The management was very laid back, but professional.

-Most of my co-workers were productive.

-The physical burden of loading and unloading carge off of tractor trailers.

-The most enjoyable thing was being around people who enjoyed the outdoors as much as I do.

Management seems to always have hidden agenda's.  You never know what is coming from one day to the next.  They like to do reductions in force, blame someone else and tell the same story of how this is the last time we do this and we are going to fix it.  Bottom line, this place suffers from poor or mismanagement at the most senior levels.

Thoroughly enjoyed the job I performed for the NWTF.  However, major changes began to occur when a new CEO was appointed by a National Board about 6 years ago and the organization has struggled under this new leadership.  Many jobs have been eliminated under this new management leadership in order to meet profit expectations set by the board.

I interned at the National Wild Turkey Federation so it was not a paying job.  I interned in the communications department so I worked with their magazine and their social media department.  I learned a lot about social media and what goes in to producing a magazine.  The employees there were wonderful and helpful.  I got to experience so many different extracurricular activities while there.

Why they can't keep state chapter reps. 
Very non professional atmosphere, with an incredibly non-professional manager. No training to speak of and when one questions; gets berated.  Worse was during height of Covid when people were strictly working from home. The state chapter rep manager is the problem. I left without even having another job, it was just too toxic.
