United Way reviews

Highly defensive & sensitive leadership that struggles to navigate criticism from staff Seems more likely to trust feedback from the community than their own employees Punitive/coercive to lower-level staff who disagree with leadership Leadership still follows outdated views on work-life balance despite trying to create policies to increase balance (asking employees to do work outside of their job description, not backfilling positions in a timely manner, expecting staff to manage leadership who do not have the skills to perform their own work)

The turnover rate is ABYSMAL and Leadership refuses to address why this is. People are either there for a year or they've been there 15+ years. Disorganized, partially because of the high turnover rate and how long it takes people to be on-boarded/trained to begin with, only for them to leave once it hits them the juice isn't worth the squeeze. There is extreme favoritism from the ELT with regards to which departments they favor and pour their time and energy into. It means some departments thrive, while others flounder due to a lack of support. There was a very cliquish structure amongst Senior Leadership and everyone else. The attitude is noticeable and it creates a feeling of have/have-nots, which is a strange culture to be procuring at a Charity.
