Zocalo Community Development Reviews

If you have landed on this page to read reviews about this company it is likely that you are considering an opportunity with Zocalo Community Development. My advice to you is to do your homework about this company before accepting a position with them. Ask your trusted colleagues in the industry their thoughts about this company, read these honest reviews from past employees, when interviewing the hiring manager ask why there was such an astronomically high turn over rate in 2014 (and in years past) on the operations side of the company. If the response is something along the lines of, "not everyone is a good fit for Zocalo", you are not getting an honest answer. I urge you to dig before being enticed by the healthy salary that you will be offered. While working for this company I was so unhappy that it began interfering with my personal life. The day that I no longer had to go into work for this company it was as if a huge weight had been lifted off of my shoulders. The Leadership within this company treats their employees as if they are disposable, writes their employees up for just about anything, micromanages each and every employee and has no faith whatsoever in any of the intelligent employees that were hired for a reason. If after reading these reviews you are still considering a position with this company, ask yourself these simple questions to aid in your decision making: -Do you enjoy be degraded by your superior? -Are you okay with being micromanaged? -Are you willing to put yourself in a work environment with no level of trust from your supervisor? -Are you okay with accepting a position that will make you utterly miserable inside and outside of work? -Are you available to work mandatory OT, whether or not you are able to? -Are you okay to work for a company that has a revolving door of employees? If you answered no to even just one of the questions above, then this company is NOT for you. In fact, this company is for no sane person.....unless of course you enjoy feeling miserable.

The management side of the company is very poorly organized and run. If you like to be micro-managed then this is the company for you. The management side director specializes in micromanaging the employees and runs a very low trust organization. The leadership is poor and often demeaning and very negative. This company does not promote forward thinking or creativity. The company culture is negative and the work life balance is poor.
