Mismanagement of resources

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

The pay is above market value Many of the people working there are great The kitchen is fully stocked and open to anyone The new CEO will hopefully change things for the better The mission is great. Almost too great to be led by some of the people working there

Cons

Senior level managers are past due for a change. Many are unprofessional and unpredictable lacking management skills better than first-time shift leaders at fast food restaurants. Work place bullying is normal, mass firings are regular, and the culture created by that instability does harm to a lot of genuinely great people at the organization. The amount of money wasted (hiring people for one role, compensating them astronomically, then giving them secretarial work or mismanaging them to the point where they don’t get the opportunity to think for themselves) should be considered a fireable offense and if left unchecked, will be their downfall. I feel the most sorry for the non-senior level employees. They deserve so much better than they get.

Horrible organization

Pros

The hours aren't too bad. There's a fully stocked kitchen so that's nice. I honestly can't think of anything else.

Cons

Horrible pay, horrible management, horrible HR. If you're a big shot, then work here! They pay all higher up people well over six figures and cater their lunch every day. BUT, if you're not a big shot, you will get paid around $29,000 with horrible benefits. The HR employees are gossipy and they play favorites.

Pros

The location. And the office space was nice and clean. That's about it.

Cons

No idea where to begin. The whole company is built on a fundamentally flawed concept which is the common core standards. They are always borderline bankrupt, probably because their executives all make obscenely high salaries to do very little while they continue to lay off people who actually do the work.It is the worst good ol' boys network I've ever been around in more than 25 years in the workplace - if you're not "one of them," they will let you know through their body language and make it as uncomfortable for you as possible. That's what happened t me. They are all former teachers who think they are smarter than everyone else, and they let me know from day one through their actions that I was not on the same plane as them and they didn't think I belonged with them. Somehow I lasted a year and a half. When they decided to let me go, my direct supervisor did not even have the guts to face me. She did not show up for the meeting. . she had her supervisor do her dirty work. Office politics at its worst. I was fired for "not being one of them," plain and simple. They've had a couple of massive layoffs since I left, so that should tell you all you need to know about their financial well-being. If you're not "one of them," you WILL get treated like dirt. Consider yourself warned.
