Pros

- The mission to improve student wellbeing is meaningful and rewarding when the work aligns with it. - Some teammates are kind, collaborative, and genuinely care about doing good work. - Broad exposure to projects offers quick learning early in your career.

Cons

- Leadership often lacks alignment and direction, leading to frequent pivots and unclear priorities. - Processes are inconsistent or nonexistent, creating inefficiency and confusion. - The culture can be toxic. While some people are supportive, others “drink the Kool-Aid” and engage in gossip and disrespectful behavior. - Little to no DE&I efforts, which is reflected in what behaviors are excused. - Workload expectations are high, with minimal focus on sustainable pace. - Career growth paths are unclear, and advancement can feel based on favoritism or a need to retain employees rather than performance.

Pros

Talented, hardworking, and collaborative team members who are supportive of one another and committed to doing strong work. Being fully remote allows for flexibility.

Cons

Leadership is primarily focused on profit and appearances, not people. Employees are not respected—priorities constantly shift and there is little regard for employees’ time or workload. The organization lacks alignment. Teams are siloed. It is unnecessarily difficult to get work done. Feedback is ignored. Transparency is minimal. People are let go or reassigned with little to no communication, which creates a culture of uncertainty and distrust. Favoritism is noticeable and impacts how employees are treated and evaluated. Workloads increase with no additional resources. Expectations are unclear and change frequently. Customers are moved between service levels and changes are made that negatively impact them without proper communication, leaving frontline employees to fix the confusion and frustration without support. Leadership talks about trust but does not demonstrate it. There is a clear disconnect between what is said and what actually happens. Overall, the environment is chaotic, disorganized, and reactive. It feels like there is no real plan, and employees are left to figure things out on their own. This is not a stable or supportive place to work.

Our people are a core strength of TimelyCare, and the work they do matters and is very much appreciated. We are committed to creating an environment where employees feel supported, respected, and able to do their best work. We are listening to feedback and building more structured, scalable ways of working so that navigating a fast-paced environment is more clear, consistent, and effective. Financial health is necessary to carry out our important work. Our mission to foster student success and improve the health and well-being of campus communities requires strong alignment, accountability, and trust in how we operate day to day, and we are continuing to invest in our people and leaders to strengthen that experience across the organization.
