Limited career growth and burnout culture

Pros

The people are well intentioned, and seem to genuinely love God and want to serve people in our city.

Cons

Leadership made working at the Stone difficult; pay was poor, career growth options were very limited for most roles, and the church had grown so big that they took on far too much than they can actually handle. Additionally, they rely heavily on unpaid, full-time interns (as well as church volunteers) to do critical ministry work, leading to a lot of burnout, turnover, and under-resourced initiatives. It seems they're more focused on growth, and staying big, than excelling at a few things well.

Can be a great place to work

Pros

Great environment among peers and working with congregants.

Cons

Senior/Central leadership grew pretty detached from some of the congregations. Poor hires in at least one of the senior congregational leaders led to all existing staff leaving after a short amount of time. And once they resigned, the congregational leader then decided to leave.

Pros

Early on, sr. Level leadership cared about staff. This didn’t last.

Cons

The bigger the church grew, the further removed the sr. Leaders became and ended up being unaware of what was going on at the campus level. They acted like it was an honor to work there and made it an unsafe place to vocalize questions about pay or work load.
