Pros
I have never worked anywhere that felt more collaborative, or where I felt more heard. Leadership team is transparent about goal-setting and strategies, and empowers directors to do what they need to do to help their direct reports to succeed. My opinion feels valued, and I am given the freedom to focus on my strengths and to build up my weaknesses. I also especially appreciate the organization's ability to recognize the changing nature of work, accommodating remote employees and the flexibility in scheduling to achieve a healthy work/life balance.
Cons
The organization has undergone a number of structural changes, as well as a shift in mission, and this has made for a rocky time for some. Despite open lines of communication and clear avenues to resources to help in managing change, it's still easy to sometimes feel frustrated or lack clarity. Still, I am incredibly excited to see where we are going and teams remain committed to student success.
