Pros
Many kind, dedicated coworkers who truly care about their communities.
Flexible schedule and autonomy in some roles.
Opportunity to make an impact if you’re self-driven.
Cons
Long-tenured employees often face slow career progression and limited advancement opportunities, while new hires are brought in at significantly higher salaries.
Executive leadership struggles with transparency, follow-through, and consistent communication.
Unprofessional or undermining behavior from senior leaders is frequently overlooked, creating a culture of favoritism and finger-pointing.
Strategic planning often feels reactive or driven by internal politics, rather than data or employee input.
Resistance from top leadership to openly hear employee feedback—concerns are sometimes dismissed as “stupid” rather than seen as opportunities for improvement.
Stagnation in leadership, with a tendency to avoid difficult but necessary changes; culture is marked by negativity, blame-shifting, and grudge-holding rather than collaboration, innovation, or accountability.
