Mindful Life Project Reviews

Terrible work culture thanks to the CEO! Super toxic work environment. He would call at all hours of the day and night, expect people to work 14+ hours a day, never approve days off without a fight/hassle, and send awful emails talking trash about every employee. Often the HR director was the only thing keeping him from doing things that were definitely illegal (he would try to find ways to get people fired if he didn’t like them, try to get people to work outside of normal work hours, among other things). The board are all kept from the real truth of how things are, so things will never change. In the last 12 months the entire administrative side of the program department quit as well as the HR, partnership, and development depts. it is simply not a healthy place for people to work due to the approach/culture/management established by CEO.

Executive Director is not mindful. The turnover rate is extremely high due to poor management. You do not feel valued and appreciated by the ED. You feel like a puppet and are held to impossibly high standards. Everything you do is micromanaged and there is no sense of autonomy in the position. Luckily, as a coach, you do not deal with admin everyday as you are at your school site. If you are lucky enough to have a wonderful school it makes all the difference in the world. If you are looking for professional growth, this is not the organization to be in. Until they get rid of their executive director and find a real mindful leader, this organization is going to fall apart.
