Life.Church reviews

Hours are very demanding and the development can also be a con for some because of our type of culture. If you're not ready to grow, this won't be a place that you'll be at long. Also, I came in the organization as a lower-tiered than I am now so my financial compensation when advancing (in my opinion) has always been based on the very small amount of money I started at. Now having children, the financial compensation could be better and salaries aren't reviewed here on any basis that I'm aware of. Any financial raise you get is based on your goal setting and achievements (which I love) but that's it. Again, this isn't a place to be blessed as much financially than in ALL the other areas of your life. They've also gone away from the role I started in and the roles they replaced have better compensation. (good for future/bad for existing) Also what I've seen in our culture, this is also a place that when books are written about you and your leadership, it's very hard to change it, which can be bad when trying to advance. Tier 2 benefits are terrible for families and can break the bank (for my wife and I at the time we came on was paying almost $500 month for insurance alone. Which means we couldn't invest due to making less than 30k/yr).

Very young staff and leadership which creates some lack of organization and departmental direction. Lots of turnover which makes it difficult to build synergy. Feedback is a core value but needs more balance especially on the blind spots we all have.
