Spark-Y Reviews

Management is unprofessional. They lack the desire or insight as to why a workplace should founded on tact, respect and clear communication. On my first day I found out they lied to me and I would not be receiving no actual benefits (heath & dental insurance). Instead, after a 90-day probation period, I would be given a healthcare stipend to pay for a portion of my health insurance. The management has zero leadership; amongst themselves or to the broader team. Proper communication was executed from 2 (non-management) of the 17 FT employees. They can't even manage to balance their own books!

Management pays its high school youth $15 / hr (knowing anything less looks bad), yet the starting wage for their staff is around $17.50 ($36k) with the expectation of a 4 year degree and 2 years of experience. Does not have employer offered health care - intentionally attracts those under 26 to not have this company expense. Management / CEO are conflict adverse, will ignore feedback they don't agree with. Have continued in a school partnership that all involved staff oppose (for workplace concerns) by placing new hires at that location. At times, unclear about their mission and out of touch with the scope of it - currently shifting away from environmental sustainability initiatives and more towards STEM school partnerships. Supervisor accessibility and support is little to none, given overworked busy schedules. Entire lack of HR is a huge problem. Management still view themself as a start up, despite being over a decade old - unwilling to invest money into their workplace furniture, hoards old project materials that will never have another purpose. Expect over 50% employee turnover within a year.
