Good Colleagues, Terrible Management - Anonymous employee Chemical Educational Foundation Employee Review

CEF has incredible free resources for teachers and support for teachers and works to connect schools and students with chemical industry members to increase interest in and excitement about STEM subjects in school and STEM careers. I appreciate that the Executive Director values the input of their staff and regularly recognizes the work we do. Coming from a nonprofit with a far less stable funding base, I appreciate the stability and dedication of the core funders (primarily chemical industry corporations).

Going through a period of growth and transition, expectations for all staff are very high and the work is stressful. Sometimes feels like we're fluctuating between donor maintenance and mission-focus, need to stay truly mission-focused.
