Pros

The programs do amazing work! Every single program person has a servants heart. They truly care about people.

Cons

Administration is a mess. There was absolutely no flexibility in my position. I was told over and over that I was to be chained to my desk (and that, that exact statement was from the CEO herself). The position was extremely rigid and when I had a death in my family (my best friend) and a sick child the result was being let go for too many absences even though all but one were approved by my direct supervisor. I talked with HR who did their best to be helpful to me about my concerns. (And have no issue with how they handled things in fact I'm grateful for both of the HR staff) In my opinion my supervisor lacked perspective, grace and pretended to be on my side and then fired me for inconveniencing her with things that were out of my control.

Pros

*401k match was 5:1 up to 2%.

Cons

Key takeaway; Let turnover be your guide. Many positions saw high turnover, and it was always the employee's fault never the fault of lack of consistent direction. Poor Training Structure: Training was largely conducted over Teams, which proved ineffective. Managers often provided incorrect training, and when mistakes occurred, they shifted the blame onto employees rather than taking accountability. Constantly Changing Expectations: Management frequently changed how they wanted information processed, causing confusion and inconsistency. A lack of an organized task management system made it frustrating to keep up with shifting priorities. Toxic Leadership Culture: Leadership remained disconnected from frontline staff. Communication was strictly top-down, and there was a noticeable culture of manipulation. Employees were pressured to overwork “for the cause” under the pretense of “we’re a family,” while leadership showed little regard for realistic work-life balance. Lack of Vision: Decision-makers lacked clear strategic direction, leading to a rigid, hierarchical structure that suppressed innovation and employee morale. Workload and Flexibility Imbalance: Although there was some flexibility to work from home occasionally, management frequently took time off themselves while expecting employees to be physically present in the office and to work beyond a standard 8-hour day without additional consideration.
