Dysfunctional culture - Anonymous employee U.S.VETS Employee Review

Working at U.S.VETS is more than just a job—it's a calling. The mission to serve veterans is deeply woven into the culture, and you truly feel like your work matters. The team operates with a strong sense of camaraderie and resilience. There’s room to bring new ideas to the table, and your contributions are valued. The organization prioritizes collaboration, and mission alignment and authenticity really shows.

Like many nonprofits, we work with limited resources and that can sometimes mean wearing multiple hats. Things move fast and priorities can shift quickly, which may be a challenge for folks who prefer a highly structured environment.

Working with the Veteran community, the ability to gain partnerships and connections on your own for future endeavors, the hands on experience with the veteran population.

Leadership constantly trying to coerce and convince employees to do several jobs for one pay (already underpaid), when proper channels are taken in terms of complaints leadership and national only show face and do nothing for their employees, the unprofessionalism, blatant favoritism, leadership having their own agenda without considering their employees in any way especially their mental health, that constant damage control is done by National to try and keep people working in a depressive work environment. People lose their light within 1 month of working here, they all look miserable and openly voice that they are miserable there. Keeping certain employees who purposely created hostile work environments all because they know how to get the nonprofit big money. They like to randomly change people's schedules or work locations based on their own wants and needs without consulting or asking the employee it's directly affecting. Being watched on a camera daily, while supervisors also use other employees to be their watch dog when they aren't physically at work. Being called "trouble" for not allowing abuse when faced with wrongdoing. Seems like things are kept secret at certain sights, everyone always seems so shocked that this and that is happening and yet.. nothing changes.
