Vantaggi
-Lots of warm and welcoming people on the team who I genuinely looked forward to seeing everyday. There were lots of people who I looked up to and learned from. -The farm stand and summer camp programs make a real positive impact on peoples’ lives. -Most times, I felt comfortable being my authentic self. People are very accepting, supportive, and come from all walks of life. Dress code is casual but you can dress up if thats your thing.
Svantaggi
-Leadership completely restructured our team at the advisement of outside consultants who do not know anyone on the team personally… not to mention they seemed to have a poor understanding of our roles. They did not warn or consult our team before taking action. They made the professional writer do social media, and the marketing professional do grant writing. This was a huge red flag and upon receiving this news I knew it was time for me to go! -Leadership gives all these lectures on active listening and cultural competency which is ironic considering these are their greatest weaknesses. -Leadership is out of touch, constantly bragging about properly compensating their employees. This is a huge slap in the face to the dozens of struggling employees. -Leadership fostered a hostile environment. I felt horrible seeing the pressure they put on my supervisor and how it affected her. She was extremely dedicated and put in lots of extra hours, but it didn’t seem like she was shown any appreciation. I had a young adult coworker on my team who was exceptionally talented, disciplined, passionate, and knowledgeable about the organization. She was everyones go-to person for questions. They definitely recognized her talent as they kept adding more and more things to her plate… So I was shocked to learn the amount of harsh criticism she receives from leadership. Leadership has unrealistic expectations for employees that their brightest and hardest-working staff are unable to meet.
