Proceed with caution - Officer Hawaii Community Foundation Employee Review

Salary and benefits, hybrid work options, no micromanaging, trust of employees, great exec leadership, focus on staff culture and wellbeing

There can be some tension between departments. But that's pretty true of most non-profits,

As others have stated, the pay is decent and benefits are good. You also learn a LOT about Hawaii's nonprofit sector and have a chance to learn about the role of a funder in facilitating change. For me, the foundation also helped me learn a lot about myself, and how to truly believe in yourself in the face of adversity.

I will be honest and say that this was probably the worst job I have ever had. Not the hardest, but the worst. It was a toxic, negative environment and there were no second chances and no room for second guessing. If you are not a confident and self-assured person, the foundation is not the place for you. There is no mentoring, and you need to be ready to be thrown into the deep end of the pool. To be fair, I think a certain kind of person can succeed here, but you need to know what you are getting into and know that it is not a good environment for most.
