Student Conservation Association reviews

-Real leadership is non-existent. The CEO is incapable of making a decision on his own. -This is a true good ole white boys organization. Very authoritarian and top -> down structure where everyone is kept in their place, especially the women. -The worst managers have not only been retained but promoted. The good managers have to constantly protect their area from damage from above. -False sense of self-importance is part of the culture here - about the significance of the organization itself - its history and founder - on down to managers who think they are a much bigger deal than they really are. -"The SCA Way" - starts a joke but quickly becomes a living hell.

Poor leadership Dysfunctional executive team that is out of touch but attempts to micro manage Significant increase in amount of program managed by single individuals Significant brain drain of experienced staff due to firings, layoffs, voluntary departures Decrease in staff and training WILL result in overwork, a less positive experience for participants and increase in real risk.
