Must be hip to get in

Pros

The people here are all about development. This means personal, professional, spiritual. There is ALWAYS an opportunity for growth. Whatever it is, ask and you will get the chance. Senior leadership is fantastic. Pastor Sam is so funny, but also very inspiring to listen to. Same with Pastor Hurley. These gentlemen are open, honest, and secure in heir faith. You can have a sense of humor and be a Christ follower! You will have fun.

Cons

It depends who you know. The internship program is not that great as far as the director and team leader goes. They act like feedback is this big thing, but they aren't very transparent. You think you're doing pretty good, then learn out of nowhere that you aren't. Techmire is very judgemental and harsh. If you're not cool with him, you're not going anywhere. Theh want you for tell them where you want to be, so they can tell you that's not a good fit. Coleman is hilarious. It does seem though that he is more about who is cool enough to work there. Being an introvert won't get you far with him. You need to be relevant. It's not about how spiritual you are, as there are a lot of really mean spirited people who work here, but more about how much you fit the Lifechurch mold. So if you're not a hipster, don't apply. HR is pretty tough. There is one very nice person there who is very outgoing, but there is also a lot of gossip and drama. If you go to HR, a grudge will be held against you for years to come.

Pros

Clear mission/vision, leadership/personal development, spiritual development, growth opportunities, amazing benefits, 401k and retirement options, the best people to work with on the planet.

Cons

I have nothing to complain about, make a difference in someone's life, give your time for a greater cause.

LC!

Pros

You get poured into heavily in your leadership and spirituality, the LC culture, and the care for you and your family when it comes to time off, specifically at the campus level. The benefits package is pretty good as well as the insurance. Insurance is much cheaper (at higher level tier employee) than anywhere I've seen.

Cons

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).
