Pros
They understand the work, expectations, directors, and human interaction is barely tolerable so the benefits are incredible. They genuinely try to make everything better and they’re so often hamstrung by a state who adopted the slogan “Forward” but is desperate in its rural areas to move backwards. CEO pay to employee ratio is fair, as is the the percent of annual revenue the company receives compared to CEO’s salary.
Cons
Disappointing directors (specifically participant facing program directors). It’s very clear to every single participant facing employee that there is a very real disconnect between directors and those who carry out the work that earn the six figure salaries for the directors. Directors are unavailable to communicate with and so far disengaged from their actual programs they are unfamiliar about what the program processes even are. Because I have no recourse of anonymity within the company, I’m sharing a story about COVID which gives many employees anxiety. I emailed for direction about a COVID exposure and never got a response, ever. Why do we still have the flyers up in office if HR isn’t going to even reply? Makes us feel like our questions and concerns are meaningless and discourages us from filling up.) They keep coming up with more directors too! Director of Excellence and Innovation?? Are we a publicly funded Midwest non-profit or a San Francisco tech startup? W2 caseloads declined for years and the funding cuts were evident to anyone who had a brain. There was no plan other terminate multiple client facing employees at Christmastime with 2 weeks notice (not excellent and not innovative). Of course, no severance. Merry Christmas to those ex-employees.
