Stroum Jewish Community Center Reviews

The leadership is extremely clicky, temperamental, and disorganized. They are not open to input or new ideas outside of their own. They say there's an open door culture, but they seem to be threatened by ideas, close the door, and quickly gossip about you. Once you are on their "list", you stay there. There's a lot of resentment that goes both ways.

There simply isn't enough staff or a well organized way to run most programs. Without a team to support departments are often asking for help from staff. This is both good and bad as it tends to find few of the employees doing most of the work and upper level mostly looking like they are contributing without really being in the mix. Upper management rarely if ever visits departments to 'check in' and subsequently employees do not feel connected to them. Newish CEO does not connect well with employees and is always on the go or in a meeting/call. Never feel like she has your undivided attention even in a one to one meeting, constantly typing notes or looking at her schedule and you do not feel heard.
