Listen to the 1-Star Reviews - They’re more accurate than you’ll want to believe.
Pros
The people you work directly with are truly incredible. You will be alongside some exceptional people that care for you until you just aren’t aligned with the “mission” anymore. You will be thrown into the fire which allows you to certainly develop but at what cost? I really do think that Pastor Craig, Jerry, Sam are great and incredible leaders. There just seems to be a disconnect in middle management or poor leadership that has ridden on the successful coattails of people better than them.
Cons
You will be forgotten about. If you don’t fall directly in line with “the mission” you will be cast aside. (The mission is purely codified language to whatever your leader defines it to be.) Insider vs. outsider bias - Life.Church will make you believe that this is the greatest calling that you could possibly experience. This creates a dichotomy where people on the inside think those who have left didn’t have enough grit to last (this is said from stage by leaders, “you wouldn’t last a month if you aren’t right for the job”). Which in turn discourages people who see wrongdoings from speaking out. It is consistently encouraged that, “this is the best place to work.” “We get to do this (spiritual manipulation)” “You’re not working for Life.Church, you are working for God (spiritual manipulation during recruitment training)” If you are reading reviews as an indicator to work here, please, take into deep consideration the negative reviews. They are a more accurate representation than not.
