Pros

Decent benefits but only for the select few who are considered “Tier 1” employees. Anyone below that has to pay a lot of money out of pocket. i.e. any service jobs, likely the lowest wage earners already. Quite honestly, it’s pretty discriminatory in practice and is institutional racism.

Cons

As others have mentioned, nepotism is rampant and managers are put in leadership roles with zero training and/or questionable capabilities. All under the guise of we must submit to whom the Holy Spirit has placed above you. There is a weak 360 review process and anyone who questions authority will likely be cut off.

Unhealthy. Wonderful as a church, disastrous as a company.

Pros

Parts of the job are great. Decent Benefits. Getting to be a part of something bigger.

Cons

Unhealthy workplace. Most in leadership have little to no training, top/down. This place is highly disorganized. Feels like you are working for a company in a bubble, where they have little understanding of how a company should properly operate. Regularly, via survey, you are asked what you need or would like to see done differently, with little to no follow through from upper management. Promotion is scarce, but even worse, the hiring process is absurd.
