Board members clueless about how employees treated

Management

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Decent pension, work life balance, lower level employees are decent people

Cons

People in executive management with high school diplomas who act like trash and treat people like trash. Told that if you work hard that you can get a five annual performance score but the management makes sure scores are adjusted downwards to a 3 to minimize increases. Also you are told if you go above and beyond you’ll get spot awards. Hardly any get approved because hardly anyone rises to that level. Go work there is you are ok with being unappreciated

Legal Team Runs the Organization

Project coordinator

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great retirement benefits Good people, but they are leaving due to culture change. It was (past tense) a good place to work.

Cons

Legal has no oversight, runs the organization, directs the Board of Directors and CEO. Due to this, turnover of talented and dedicated Executives. Conflicts with HR labor laws Legal department's budget and staff has increased, but still sending projects and issues outside for advice. No longer a mission-focused organization. It's no longer a member-driven focus.

Bureaucracy, lack of communication, and disconnected Executives

Management

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

If you want to leave your brain at the door, come work here. No competition, so no need to improve.

Cons

Executives are apathetic, like politicians, they talk a good talk but could care less on how the organization is run as long as they don't have to make a decision. Can't keep any HR staff, the CIO is incompetent and in way over his head.
