If running in circles with blinders is your thing, apply. - Manager American Promise Employee Review

I love working at this organization. Some of our company values include candor, humor, and respect, and it's not just lip service. A genuine effort is made to ensure the work environment meets these standards. It's also fully remote, which offers a lot of flexibility.

The workload is heavy, which is to be expected of a nonprofit with such a lofty and important end-goal. With that said, leaderships constantly reminds us to rest and take care of ourselves.

Coworkers (those who are left) are kind and genuine.

It was a fairly disorganized operation when I started, but there was a sense of hope, purpose and excitement. Leadership was always a flitting image, but it became worse and a new leader was brought in. That killed everything. The organization became cold, unfriendly and hostile. Longtime employees and those with legitimate political experience or extensive experience/education in their fields were driven out or removed. Leadership became insulting and combative while replacing staff with personal relations as contractors. The worst part is probably the fact that they falsely advertise. They constantly promote themselves as non-partisan, but that is the biggest farce. Since new leadership took hold, they’ve implemented a “right to left” strategy, but that strategy is in actuality just pandering to the extreme right-wing. They refuse to post anything shared from left-leaning politicians or public figures, even if the content itself is not strictly left, but will happily promote conservative agendas and politicians. They are working with members of the Oath Keepers (Mark Finchem - which they tried to hide when there was blowback) and The Sinclair Institute, and have their chief legal counsel chatting with Steve Bannon. Many of their new hires are heavily right-leaning. Staff was advised of appropriate social media policies, such as not posting your political opinions on sites like LinkedIn (standard corporate social media policies), but conservative staff members have been allowed to post pro-MAGA agenda opinions without consequence or redirection. Staff is regularly told not to address certain topics or avoid certain questions that the organization feels would compromise this status, putting public-facing employees in difficult and morally questionable situations. If that’s the direction you want to go in, that’s fine, but stop touting yourselves to be a non-partisan organization because people volunteer, accept positions, and promote American Promise thinking they’re working with people across the political spectrum when they aren’t. Jeff Clements needs to reassess why he started this organization in the first place and why he has allowed one individual to overtake the entire operation. I have never experienced such an inept, dishonest, and dismissive leader as their current president. She is disingenuous and rude, telling staff that “everyone has to sacrifice” when their salaries barely pay living expenses, while she regularly jets across the country to wine and dine with those who she feels can boost her own personal brand. Every staff member from the time I started has been let go or is absolutely miserable feeling as though they have to either pay the bills/feed their families by selling their souls or compromise their financial stability by leaving.
