Pros

the kids! the mission!

Cons

The turnover in the last year is alarming. I know seven people who have left in the last 9 months (by choice). It is a very different culture than before. I hear management doesn't encourage any peer or supervisor feedback, the culture is not one which embraces honest communication and feedback; this is very different from the prior culture that embraced innovation and excellence. Literally everyone from the senior team in 2018 has been let go or quit. yikes.

Pros

The mission at Book Trust is undeniably inspiring. The program works, and the impact is only growing.

Cons

No doubt will the new senior leadership at Book Trust attribute these bad reviews to a team resistant to change and hostile to newcomers. Unfortunately, this is not the case when nearly ten people have left after they transitioned in. Through their actions of micromanaging, berating employees for perceived slights, and passive aggressiveness, they have shown that they do not trust in the ability of their employees. They have continually shown to be resistant to feedback, preferring to surround themselves with those that agree with them. The open feedback culture previous to the new management was one of the things that made Book Trust great and it is sad to see that culture change into one that is much more closed door.

Pros

inspiring mission! Teachers and students love and value the program

Cons

the new leadership team is absolutely toxic; they refuse to be accountable for any negative changes that have occurred since they started. Complete lack of transparency and trust between leadership and employees. Noticeable sexism appearing in the office, male employees are often given credit for the work females employees are doing and are held to a lower standard by leadership.
