      Pros

      Great work environment. Had access to brand new MacBook Pro computers and anything you could need to ensure you could complete your job. People were friendly and caring while you are an employee there.

      Cons

      Left on good terms with no bad blood. Staff have not reached out to check on me since I left. Once you are out, you are out. All those “lifelong” friends you worked with while you were there will move on if you no longer work there. It’s very much internally perceived as either you are “in the club” or you are “out of the club”. Very strict and demanding job. Goals are set extremely high must be reached and obtained without fail. If you fall short at all, it will affect your advancement and employment. Very much a “grind” culture. You must be in the top 120% at all times with little room for error. Very “uppidy” mentality held by a majority of employees. Very privileged and entitled co-workers. You must tithe at LEAST 10% or you will be in trouble. You are expected to work weekends. No work life balance at all.

      Thank you for your feedback! You’re right: The work we’re called to do is demanding! We believe it’s the most important work we can do here on Earth. To do that work, it’s crucial to steward our time, energy, and resources well, and we encourage our staff members to do that in a variety of ways to avoid burnout. We rely heavily on volunteers to help push our mission forward, we provide very competitive benefits, and we offer a wide variety of learning opportunities to help team members make the most of what God has given them. We’re sorry your experience working here wasn’t as excellent as it could have been. We also understand leaving any workplace where you’ve created bonds can be difficult, but especially when the bonds are as strong as the ones the Life.Church team tends to build with each other and with attenders and volunteers. If you’re open to it, we’d love to help you get plugged back in, whether that’s by attending, visiting a LifeGroup, or through Church Online. If you have more specific ways we could get better at promoting a better work-life balance and you would like us to help you get reconnected we’d love to hear from you! Please shoot us an email at recruitment@life.church. Life is better together!

      It was good till it wasn't

      Pros

      Benefits package. Flexibility. Loved most of the staff and attenders at my campus.

      Cons

      While I would say that I enjoyed most of my time at LC and grew a ton, I am blown away by the lack of leadership. This organization totes that they want leaders. I don't find this to be true. They want people that will do what they're told. They don't want new ideas or ideas to be challenged. It's an organization living in the past. While it used to be a place of innovation, creativity, and charting a new course, the concern to protect what is is VERY STRONG! When you challenge those ideas or ways, prepare to be edged out. After no feedback being given by my direct supervisor for at least 6 months, they brought in the "BIG GUNS" from headquarters to make decisions. It wasn't a means of finding out what actually happened. It was a seek and destroy mission. LC promotes the idea of "seek to understand." Which is a great way to leading and just being a human being. In my instance, this did NOT happen. The "regional manager" came up to "fix" the problem. And I was viewed as the problem. No coaching. No help. Just ousted. I had poured nearly 5 years into this place and was on track for becoming a campus pastor. The whole thing flipped in 36 hours. I had met this individual one time prior to this encounter. He was able to sum up that I was the problem in 36 hours. Full backing, albeit blindly, backing existing campus leadership. Especially in light of having such a strong "leadership" bent in the organization, this was such poor leadership. Get rid of the politics. It's pretty wild how "scratch my back, I'll scratch yours" exists so heavily in a church. I used to admire this organization so much. It breaks my heart for it to operate this way. And while I thought maybe it's a one off instance, it's not. It's systemic. There are SERIOUS problems in LC. After leaving, the amount of similar stories to mine is cause for great concern. After investing this much time into an organization or as LC would put it, a calling, to be disregarded like yesterdays trash is not becoming of Christ followers.

      Pros

      The tax breaks are nice.

      Cons

      I’ve never seen more turnover, more cover up, more things swept under the rug. Saw some good…saw a whole lot more damage though.
