Pros
The staff is passionate about what they do, and individual departments program great work, especially for departments of their size. Sharing space with classes, preschool, and the arts can bring an great mix of people into the building year-round. Jewish holidays are respected, and work-life balance, outside of upper management, is solid.
Cons
Individual departments are siloed and communication between them can be difficult. Recent changes to department and JCC leadership have left the organization struggling with a lack of trust, communication, and staff morale. Larger departments within the JCC experienced almost total turnover within the span of a year. Upper management does not take concerns seriously, communicates poorly, and creates unsafe and inconsiderate working environments. Pay and benefits are in need of improvement.
