Child Care Resource Center reviews

Executives and Directors are too focused on growing the agency in size and programs without providing the appropriate infrastructure to support employees and direct services staff to do their job successfully. This is a huge agency so your job position determines how much drama and dysfunction you are exposed to. the higher you go, the more you see it. Kind of feels like you're being set up to fail without the basics (e.g. internet and email goes out often, not enough staff is hired so a lot of people feel overworked, people that are hired are sometimes not that competent because the agency hires with salaries below market value and can't afford to pay competent people a decent wage). There is also a huge lack of transparency (e.g. budgets, whole departments being "laid off", only hearing from the CEO once in a blue moon, etc.)

- HR constantly changing things (evaluations, attendance policy...) - "competitive" pay not based on performance - Sick time should not be tied to time at work when you have a mandatory 5 day off policy - Advancement is based on interview process but hiring based on nepotism is strong - nobody is ever let go because agency is scared of litigation - CEO is out of touch with employees. Recently told a story about how he almost couldn't afford to send his kids to school (University) but thankfully his father passed away and would not be a burden on his family/financials. - new CTO gutted IT department. No on site staff to fix simple issues - "fixed" parking issue by continually removing spots - inept supervisors at every level. But very few that actually know how to manage. - people aren't fired even when they sleep just a few desks between the head manager and directors office
