Dysfunctional organization - Anonymous employee Reading Partners Employee Review

Pros

Reading Partners has a critical mission and hires some of the best talent out there.

Cons

This is, without a doubt, the most dysfunctional organization I've ever worked for. Every 6-8 months, a major revenue shortfall is announced with pressure on regions to cover the cost of shared services that are not delivered as needed. The national executive and development team brings in very little revenue, while constantly increasing expectations and changing processes for regions. New systems are brought on without proper vetting, testing, training, or staff support. Rather than take a strong program model and make it the best it can be, there is a constant need to try the next exciting initiative. This stretches staff thin and means nothing can be done with excellence. Reorganizations happen at least 1-2 times a year, making it impossible to become an expert at your job, let alone get support or know who is doing what. If you take a job here, expect to work at least 50 hours per week, with little recognition for your contribution from the organization.
