Talented staff hindered by toxic leadership and chaos
Pros
- Most of the staff are talented, hard working and effective contributors who are a joy to work with. - $900 office stipend yearly
Cons
- The CEO plays favorites and will hire and fire based on friendship. - You will be hired in with one job description and end up doing a completely different one. - You will not know who your manager is or what the org structure is. - You may go a month or more before the leadership is able to tell you who your manager is, what your expectations are, and what work you should focus on, as the internal leadership struggles in constant infighting and politics. - There are meetings where people are screaming at each other. - There is open hostility in shared spaces. - Leadership will be aware of the people who have consistently caused issues, including several people leaving over one person, and protect the person in a leadership role. - Promotions are given on friendship not merit. - Your prime directive will change within an hour and you are not likely to hear about it for days. - When communication exists the story varies wildly based on who you are asking. - Micromanagement is next level. - You will be given tasks with immediate deadlines and no tools to deliver.
