Terrible work culture, doesn't value employees - Anonymous employee KCTS 9 Employee Review

Nice people, great mission, good job

Nonprofit paychecks are lower than commercial

Overall, this is a pretty great nonprofit org in Seattle and team members feel valued and generally have a balanced workload and appreciation of work-life balance. This org has Summer Fridays, where Friday afternoons are off in the summer. Everyone gets a free unlimited transit pass. People are friendly and everyone feels invested in the work that they are doing. Many employees have been with the org for 5, 10, or more years--and those people are some of the best colleagues I've encountered. It really says something that the org retained these wonderful people.

The org has a history of being a bit siloed and very heavy on top-down management, which the culture is only beginning to change. Sometimes it seems like decisions are made in a bubble amongst the exec staff and when announced there is a shock to the rest of the staff. Also there is a feeling amongst employees that in general salaries and annual salary bumps may not be fully keeping up with inflation and the market rates amongst peer orgs.
