You are simply a cog in a machine used to gain the Senior Pastor more notoriety. He is treated like a god or a celebrity. If you disagree with him, you are out. His erratic and cocky behavior made working at central uncomfortable.
It’s all about driving numbers, not actual life change. The more attendance at campuses, the more money is given to the church. Look at how the money coming in is actually spent. Very little is actually given to missions/local needs when it comes down to it.
Burn out is common. You are frequently doing the job of 2-3 people while receiving much less pay then would be elsewhere. When brought to the attention of leaders, you’re given options like more time off or therapy, with no real options to actually get help in your role.
There are different standards for different employees. Some highly favored employees can do no wrong, including things that are preached against from the pastor on the weekends.
Think long and hard before working here. You will sacrifice time, money, your family life, your personal life, and your mental health.
