      Vindictive Leadership

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      1) They allow you to WFH on Mondays and Fridays

      Cons

      1) Insurance costs $1600/month for a family 2) They don't offer paid maternity/paternity leave, don't match 401K contributions 3) Leadership will scapegoat lower level employees if they miss their own deadlines 4) Harassment, bullying, discrimination, and hostility from Leadership is a common daily occurrence 5) If they fire you, they will not allow you to take YOUR PERSONAL BELONGINGS with you. They will go through it, keep what they want, and send you the rest 6) Due to funding issues, the agency is downsizing monthly. Your job is NOT secure, no matter what they claim 7) They fight against paying unemployment for employees 8) They increase responsibilities and expectations without no training, little support, and of course $0 pay increase 9) Leadership will talk bad about you to other employees behind your back

      Supportive culture, great mission, caring team

      Administrative
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Great place to work. The culture of the organization is inclusive and caring. The team is hardworking and collaborative. There is opportunity to learn and grow. The leadership team invests in the employees through training and growth opportunities. I've been able to stretch and grow and appreciate my boss' support. There used to be a lot of toxic people here, but fortunately over the past year or so they were held accountable for their behaviors and have left. It's much better now.

      Cons

      working for a nonprofit is hard. The agency is doing fine, but like any nonprofit, I wish there were more resources to do some bigger ticket, big dream ideas.

      Positive mission but toxic executive culture

      Administrative
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Mission is a win, and peers were hard working.

      Cons

      Absolutely toxic executive suite. They isolate you from your peers due to unwarranted trust issues, participate in petty and cruel gossip (I.e., a black employee’s hair, an employee’s mental illnesses or cognitive disabilities, an employee’s body, on and on and on) about the main workforce of the company, prohibit employee contact with the board of directors (seems to be a way to stop complaints from being heard), could go on. It’s a high school mentality in there.
