Pros

Passionate team members who are experienced in nutrition, health, and wellness field. Fulfilling work engaging children and families.

Cons

CEO is disconnected from reality and is overbearing which causes immense frustration at all levels of the org. Desire to innovate does not align with the orgs capabilities. CEO is not willing to take the time to strategize an implementation plan. There is also not enough funding to support the work that needs to go into innovating and re-envisioning the mission. Not enough cultural awareness and real advocacy in communities. A lot of networking, schmoozing, and "big talk" by CEO causes problems for teams who are responsible for actually doing the work.
