Pros

Passionate team members who are experienced in nutrition, health, and wellness field. Fulfilling work engaging children and families.

Cons

CEO is disconnected from reality and is overbearing which causes immense frustration at all levels of the org. Desire to innovate does not align with the orgs capabilities. CEO is not willing to take the time to strategize an implementation plan. There is also not enough funding to support the work that needs to go into innovating and re-envisioning the mission. Not enough cultural awareness and real advocacy in communities. A lot of networking, schmoozing, and "big talk" by CEO causes problems for teams who are responsible for actually doing the work.

Pros

I began working for Common Threads a little over 3 years ago. When I first started, there was a period of disorganization and high turnover. Fast forward a year and I can say that it has GREATLY improved. Mangers/supervisors genuinely care about their employees. All employees share the same passion and vision. There is a great deal of mutual trust and respect between staff and upper management. Leadership team asks for employee feedback all the time and not only listens but also acts on the feedback. Common Threads is a very encouraging place to work and has a entrepreneurial work culture. Bonus: remote work opportunities.

Cons

Like many non profits, be prepared for a lot of "other duties as assigned" without extra compensation. This job can easily have you working over 40hrs/week but is not expected or encourage.
