Will probably close soon - Director SHAPE America Employee Review

SHAPE America is a family friendly organization that cares about their mission and works to make kids healthier. The CEO is a kind man who cares about his employees and who worked hard to get a major unification pushed through, several years ago.

Unification and restructuring was a challenging process but it was necessary to establish the organization as a leader in the industry.

The benefits and hours create a great work life balance. The overall mission to advance professional practice and promote research related to health and physical education, physical activity, dance and sport is admirable.

The overall morale of the employees is poor and they rarely work together. Member approval of CEO E. Paul Roetert is low and the Board of Directors constantly oversteps creating a hostile work environment. The high employee turnover creates tension between upper level management and staff. There is an overall feeling that nothing is truly being accomplished by both employees and members.
