Stay away at all costs - Ministry Director Centre Street Church Employee Review

Fun teams to work with, large scale events, great production value. Good benefits + compensation. Great church to be a part of.

- Non-stop pace can lead to burn out - No Sabbatical policy for pastoral staff - Hearsay 'policies' that some people live by, yet others don't - Always wanting events, projects, programming to be 'bigger and better', which can lead to burn out. - Poor celebration of staff achievements - Not many opportunities to grow and develop in your career - Job descriptions are sometimes inaccurate of what you will do - Not too much autonomy to change methods of ministry; managing and maintaining existing structures and programming seem to be the norm. - HR processes are painstakingly slow; HR doesn't seem to have great communication timelines. - Part of their culture says that they will choose to honour each other by having good communication timelines yet many departments don't live up to that

The people are great, you're not just a common worker - they care about you.

Overwork and taking on too much responsibility are common issues I saw. At times it can be hard to say no to additional responsibilities so keep track of how much you agree to
