Unhealthy work environment

Pros

The mission of Compassion is great, and lives are being transformed. The pay and benefits are good for a non-profit.

Cons

There are so many people in leadership that should not be! People are promoted because of who they know and not because the are competent. Mangers are not held to the same level of accountability as those beneath them. The 5 Cultural Behaviors that were created to promote a good culture have become very divisive and are used against people in performance reviews. For example, "Careful with my words" means you shouldn't speak up and NEVER question any authority. It's used to silence people in very dangerous ways. When I started (years ago) there was a very different culture. People like coming to work and even spent time outside of work hour together. Our whole department has changed and the office culture is often toxic. Gossip happens regularly because there is no healthy outlet or place for real dialogue. Maybe there are some healthy teams and departments, but I've not seen them. Good luck trying to grow in your career unless you do a lot of butt kissing or know the right people!
