Pros
Incredibly impactful organization that centers community driven investments to impact economic mobility. The work itself is meaningful and catalytic, particularly in local communities.
Cons
Culture is undefined and lacks maturity. Leadership has clear favorites, lacks courage in decision making, and continually shoddily rolls out half-baked procedures in the name of equity. Little understanding for geographical nuance amid complex investment strategies and community change work. Organization does not turn to its own internal leadership experiences. Culture has shifted dramatically in five years from one of team, mission, and co-creation to something far less enticing for go-getters: a culture of inexperienced managers, micromanagement, and microaggressions. All staff is not upheld to the same standards. Given such, the aspiration of the organization is well beyond current capacilities to fully deliver.
