Terrible Leadership - Recensione dipendente - Senior Program Coordinator presso Earth Rangers

The mission is fantastic and programs, like the Podcast and educational approach are top notch. There are highly creative and talented team members and the creative teams have excellent leadership and cultures

The overall culture coming from the Board and executive leadership feels a bit overly controlling, rigid and corporate; it doesn’t resonate internally consistent with the innovative and fun branding put out externally; not a learning organization

When the job is rewarding, you can't imagine working anywhere else. Teaching children about climate change, providing environmental education, and instilling eco-friendly habits is incredibly worthwhile. The benefits are generous, the facilities are beautiful and well-appointed and my team members are kind and creative. Running into armadillos and owls throughout the day is always a plus.

The organization inexcusably accepts funding from fossil fuel companies and has no plans to drop these sponsors, which undercuts everything we do. This isn't my only ethical concern about working here: Tovah largely keeps her political views to herself, and understandably so; they are reprehensible. And I had to laugh when I saw the most recent review, which echoed a lot of the concerns about leadership that I was going to discuss here. There is a culture of disorganization and passing the buck to the employees lowest on the org chart. Probably the most egregious example of this is that we purport to be a fully bilingual organization, but only two of our staff members speak French, and literally all translation duties fall to a single junior employee who has a full portfolio of other job responsibilities.
