Pros
Honestly, all my coworkers were seriously great to work with. Culture there was fun and inviting. Most of my experience there was great. Everyone got along and it felt like a family. People actually cared about you and your personal life and staff constantly would pray for each other which was great.
Cons
Really my main issue was with the CEO. Nick Hall is prideful and needs to check himself and his need for validation on social media and having a high following - this goes against the mission of Pulse, which is to lead people to Jesus. It shouldn’t be the Nick Hall show. Specifically investing donor money to gain more followers is not the way to go about it. I worked there for over a year and Nick barely even said a word to me. With such a small staff, I expected he would know everyone by name, but I’m pretty sure he didn’t even know my name half the time. Also, he spent way too much of Pulse’s donor money on expensive cold brew every morning... which seemed like an unfair use of Pulse donor money. Pay is not enough for amount of experience and work. I get it’s a non profit, but people working grocery or fast food jobs were making as much or more than I was... Money management We had a process to go through for projects, but when Nick Hall wanted something, it was completely thrown out the window. And usually it was needed last minute either the same day or the next day. Our team was emailed at one point on a Sunday at 9:30PM and were told to get a new project done by the next morning by 8am. Keeping in mind we didn’t get overtime pay for working last 40 hours... work life balance was really nonexistent at times with upper management. Who checks their email at 9:30 on a Sunday night??
