Pros
Loved my job. Coworkers were great. Felt supported for many years. Decent benefits
Cons
Unprofessional professionals, extremely petty work environment and frankly, a very hypocritical company. Both upper and middle management were awful. As for advancement? Yes, there are some of those that do move up the ladder. But it’s an unfair playing field. You’re not tight with management? Forget about making any more than your $14 an hour.. If they don’t like you for a reason (usually personal), most likely you won’t be getting that job/promotion. If you voice an opinion or felt differently than your supervisor, you were immediately known to be difficult to work with. Conform or leave. Life is stressful for EVERYONE. However, Beacon Light must feel that this doesn’t apply to their own employees. Despite being a company who’s shtick is promoting mental wellness for individuals and families, they have little regard for their own employees’ mental health. Constantly hiring… reposting job after job. It’s an obvious red flag. In the past, this company has been known for their tenured staff (which by the way no longer seems to be the case). Hardworking, dedicated and quality staff have left because it was SO toxic. Wages were not reasonable for the amount of work that was asked or expected of you. Some employees face difficult and sometimes dangerous situations in their field of work and should be compensated appropriately (granted, I know they are a non profit company and the services are greatly needed in the area). But for them, it’s all about their bottom line and their own well-being.
