Pros

Most of the front line staff really care about the families and the mission.

Cons

Toxic culture coming from the top, senior leadership treats staff like they are disposable. Unclear expectations, little to no training or support, constantly changing priorities, high turnover, lack of clear processes. Staff are expected to cover the work of open positions with no additional compensation and are barely paid a living wage to start with. Staff are stressed, burned out, and exhausted but management refuses to address concerns.

Pros

The organization is wonderful. The work they do for their families is amazing and everyone is dedicated to their mission.

Cons

There is a real problem with upper management, especially in the finance area. The CFO is a good CFO but a poor manager. Goal posts constantly change, she’s never issued one word of praise, and she can’t admit when she’s wrong. Furthermore, there’s turnover in the department about once every six months. There’s only one common denominator. The rest of upper management is oblivious to the needs of their staff. Turnover is ridiculously high, even among the overpaid admin staff. Something needs to change at the top, and quickly.
