Pros

The Ceo gives you candy as appreciation

Cons

Working at Breaking Ground is far from good and diverse. This is the worse place I have ever worked. Theres a of lack of respect and care from senior management and a lack of accountability from all levels of management. They act like the popular high school kids who have nothing better to do but to but ridicule and belittle their lower frontline staff. Theres no support or regard for regular and frontline staff and no actual training for your position; the work load is outrageous and you are expected to “figure things out” with outdated manuals and procedures. They absolutely REFUSE to raise wages even though many of the staff are in poverty and live in shelters or low income buildings managed by Breaking Ground. Many of the VPs and Head Directors are amateurs or have no actual skills to do their job and it shows. The Vps and Head Directors are highly unprofessional as they were hired by family members or are related to/are friends with the CEO. It is impossible to express your complaints, concerns or suggestions since everything that isn’t “working here is phenomenal and the pay is great” is regarded as a personal attack to Senior management and HR. The organization as a whole is outdated, unprofessional and useless to the very people that perform their grunt work and uphold the actual mission of the company.
