Pros
- The mission is inspiring - The programs and music team are heros - Hybrid work (Mondays & Fridays at home) - Free parking - Large bank of PTO that is front-loaded - The entry and mid-level employees are hardworking, creative, and passionate - Some passionate and kind donors & committee members
Cons
I had hope and then was quickly disappointed. The leadership team treats this non-profit like a corporation and not a non-profit. They are money-motivated and not attached to the mission anymore. When the money does not come in, layoffs are made. Leadership talks over lower-level employees in meetings and does not take the time to listen to suggestions or concerns. I even overheard a member of the leadership talking about me, a mid-level employee, in the lunch room and how I was not experienced enough after I had only been with the organization for a month and I was still learning my role. They realized I overheard them and have avoided me since - this was a year and a half ago and they still do not make the effort to get to know me. There is very little room for growth within the organization. When employees inquire about promotions they are dismissed or ignored. It is not often that employees are promoted, they hire outside the organization instead of growing their staff. QUIET FIRING. There is a high turnover rate and layoffs. Leadership claims this is common..... This leads to very little cross-training which is frustrating for new employees. No day is the same, no process is the same. The wheel is reinvented with every project.
