Toxic and evil - Recensione dipendente - Hired Help presso First Fruit Ministries

First fruit serves Wilmington's most vulnerable populations: people experiencing human trafficking or homelessness. I gained extensive experience in non-profit administration, grant writing, and marketing through my 3 years here.

The stress of dealing with people in trauma, addiction, and homelessness can be emotionally taxing

This is a great place to work if you enjoy ministry and can set aside a lot of yourself.

For a ministry, I find there to be a great lack of one of their core values, being Christ-centeredness. While I worked here, I endured bullying from board members and staff and had to hear the CEO make racist comments as if they were nothing. There were no KPIs for any, so there was no way to measure performance outside of hearsay. There was no training, little onboarding, and an all around DIY feeling to the position. They refuse to hire staff and would rather have each person do the job of three people while also being incredibly underpaid and offering support with zero follow-through. They're nice people, but do not create an enjoyable work environment and their business model has lasted not due to the intelligence or savvy of any member but simply by sweet words to donors who don't know any better and the unending grace of God. Would recommend finding a job at the FBCENC or Vigilant Hope if this is a field you're interested in.
