Growing, and Growing Pains

Pros

The mission could not be more important, and the work on the ground is inspiring. GroundTruth’s super power - journalism’s super power, really - is that it catalyzes good in so many aspects, from governance and democracy to health, education, criminal justice, the environment- you name it. GroundTruth’s work is absolutely vital, and when you and your colleagues are focusing on that, it can be inspiring.

Cons

Day-to-day operations are, to be blunt, chaotic. Despite people’s good-faith efforts at doing good work, the operational needs of the org lack leadership, accountability, and know-how. This will improve under new CEO leadership, but there is a lot of room for improvement and until that’s met, staff are left to accomplish their work without the operational support you’d expect from an organization of its size and scale.

Poor leadership

Pros

Good colleagues, ability to work remotely, mission is important now more than ever.

Cons

Leadership communicates ineffectively and infrequently. Top level leadership are micromanagers. Some people thrive and get promoted very quickly, and it seems to depend on who the person's direct supervisor is. Others get lost in the shuffle with little to no meaningful feedback for growth opportunities or promotion. New COO is doing the best she can but seems to be stymied by a culture of lip service around improvement and organization. Benefits are not great at all.
