summer work hours mission of work
Cons
- new office redesign spent millions to turn the NAFSA office into a call center space for middle and entry level positions. Noise and lack of privacy is off the charts! Ugly is not a strong enough word for the new design - the 80ties are calling and they would like their call center back -loss of many talented senior level, middle management and entry level employees as NAFSA no longer grows people - its somewhere above 40% over the last 2 years -CFO and CEO are not from the field and have no idea what types of strategic planning would work well for an IE organization. -junkets domestically and abroad for senior staff - one for example is in Sept. to the extremely expensive Salamandar resort for senior staff and board members when membership and revenue is down...a standard rm costs approximately $560 -utter lack of transparency in all areas -bloated number of employees - we are at about 100 and growing - no rationale for why - again our numbers are down -an extreme sense of hostility in this work environment -senior management only concerned with saying yes to CEO which makes sense as they want to keep their jobs and she will fire folks that say - "No, this doesn't make sense." One prominent head rolled and everyone fell in line or quit over the past year. - Hierarchal in management style! It didn't use to be this way. -membership dept. has no idea how to connect with members. -senior staff jostling non stop for favored employee of the month status from CEO -management ignoring key components of what makes NAFSA vital to members...newsflash - its not Marketing Dept.
