      Pros

      Flexible schedule, relatively good pay + raises yearly, counseling services, great benefits

      Cons

      It is an organization; in many ways, if you are hoping to work for a church, this may not be the one for you. Everything rises and falls on who your leader is. I've heard countless horror stories of leaders letting people go with little to no reason, and there have been proven inconsistencies regarding how HR handles matters. Work/life balance is rough, and in many seasons, you miss a lot of time with family IF YOU WORK ON A CAMPUS, which is why many people choose to apply for Central roles because it seems to be more flexible and not as taxing on your home life. They value leadership over pastoral care and discipleship. Many "pastors" on staff do not know how to be pastors because leadership drives the church and culture, and countless times, I have seen people leave, whether it was staff or attenders because they did not feel loved or cared for, valued, or heard. Ultimately it was a great place to work for a season; you will need to know that, just like any place, LC is not perfect. But depending on what you are hoping for, it could be a great fit.

      Pros

      I made lifetime friends here. I grew a lot as an individual leader and professional. There are good things happening at LC and you see a lot of life change.

      Cons

      There is no work life balance. You will feel guilty when you take vacation and be questioned about what you ‘really did’. You will work 6 days a week and likely 60+ hours a week. Well beyond on specific weeks. If you cannot meet metrics weekly it is your problem. They do not care why your volunteers were out just that you couldn’t influence them to pick serving over anything else. Tears = weakness and mean that you can’t receive feedback. Feedback includes valuable feedback that is useful and rude personal opinions from your co-workers. The rules do not apply to everyone. Certain people/groups have a different set of rules and do not get written up or verbal warnings for anything they do. It is clear who organization favorites are. Do not expect to hear from anyone once you’ve left. There is no post employment care. I had multiple friends given ‘feedback’ about their weight.

      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 do rely heavily on volunteers to help push our mission forward because we know a church is not a building. We are the church and we know the local church is the hope of the world. There is nothing better than serving God with people you love. We do track numbers because we know every number has a name, every name has a story, and every story matters to God. 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. If you have more specific ways we could get better at promoting a better work-life balance, we’d love to hear from you! Please shoot us an email at recruitment@life.church.
