Pros

- Amazing staff and managers - Positive working culture, promotes work life balance and taking care of yourself before the company -Overall they promote great values in children education

Cons

- There was a huge lay-off, which is how I ended my work here and it was really out of the blue with no warning. There could be more transparency or more notice before being forced to quit. Don't exactly know the laws around it since EDMO is a smaller nonprofit, but just humanely could've been a lot better. But before the execs decided on this, there was a lot of potential for growth.

Pros

It's a job and it's remote.

Cons

The biggest challenge in this organization is the dynamic between HR and Recruiting. HR leadership often operated with a dictatorial, control-heavy approach, with extremely poor accountability for their own decisions/actions. They will hound you when they need something but you must walk on eggshells and expect a long wait time when you need something from them. This created an environment where decisions felt one-sided and difficult to challenge. Recruiting, as a whole, tended to align way too closely with HR with no type of push back, even when it would have benefited the team and the entire business to do so. There was a noticeable lack of advocacy, which made it difficult to address process issues or improve candidate and recruiter experience. Additionally, recruiting leadership often positioned themselves as supportive of the recruiting team, but in practice, there were instances where team members were placed in difficult situations or blamed without clear cause or external pressure. This created a lack of trust and made it harder to feel secure or supported in the role. There were also instances of recruiters being thrown under the bus to HR all UNPROVOKED....when the situation could've easily been handled between the recruiting manager and the recruiting. Overall, the environment would benefit from stronger accountability, clearer ownership, and leadership that is more consistent in both messaging and action.
