Pros

Entry level staff and entry level managment care about one another and mission.

Cons

Zero communication from C-Suite except for bad news and finger pointing. C-Suite is so far removed from day to day and what is actually going on. Zero attempt to try to understand why there is so much turn over. HR is an actual joke!! Safety concerns ALL around in ALL markets. The care for community growth/staff growth is gone. The time and care spent into building quality products is gone. It's only about the numbers. No thought into QA any longer. Just rush and pump out junk from ALL markets. More and more unhappy customers. I don't blaim them. Low income folks spend their money only to receive broken products. It is such a shame to see what is happening to the PCs for People "mission"...it is truly lost. Only way to get it back is to make changes that need to start at the TOP.

Pros

This organization exists today because leadership was willing to make extremely hard decisions during a financial crisis. When ACP funding dropped from the primary source of revenue to zero almost overnight, the company was at real risk of failing. Instead of pretending everything was fine, leadership confronted reality, restructured quickly, and stabilized the organization. As a result, the company survived, became profitable, and has posted positive financial results last fiscal year and this fiscal year. That matters in the nonprofit space. At a time when many nonprofits are downsizing, closing programs, or shutting down entirely due to funding shortfalls, this organization is surviving, and in many ways, thriving. That outcome did not happen by accident.

Cons

The transition was difficult and not everyone experienced it positively. The culture necessarily changed when the organization shifted from a subsidy-dependent model to one focused on sustainability, accountability, and performance. Roles that existed under the previous model were no longer viable. Expectations increased. The pace was intense, and the pressure was real. Crisis leadership is rarely comfortable leadership.

Thank you for taking the time to share such a comprehensive and thoughtful review of your experience with us. Navigating the sudden loss of ACP funding was undoubtedly one of the most challenging chapters in our organization’s history. Your acknowledgment of the difficult, yet necessary, decisions made during that fiscal crisis means a lot to our leadership team. Navigating that shift required immense resilience from everyone involved. We appreciate your candid reflection on how the culture and expectations changed as we transitioned toward long-term sustainability. Crisis management is rarely comfortable, but as you noted, our primary focus had to be preserving our ability to serve our community and ensuring the organization's survival. Thank you also for your advice regarding communication. We agree that clear, transparent communication regarding financial realities is essential, especially during periods of rapid growth and stabilization. We are committed to carrying that practice forward as we continue to thrive.

Pros

Some coworkers try to help. Regular hours. A mission that could be good in theory.

Cons

Raising concerns will be misrepresented and used against you. Constant mismanagement and shifting expectations. Leadership is absent and workload distribution is inconsistent and unfair. Feedback is taken personally instead of addressed.
