Vantaggi

Healthcare benefits are solid. The only real positive was the people I met—many of whom had similar negative experiences. A number of us have stayed connected afterward and support each other, which says a lot about what it was like to work there.

Svantaggi

Leadership culture is deeply problematic. Employee concerns are often dismissed or reframed in ways that feel like gaslighting. Comments from leadership can make you question your own judgment, even when the issues are obvious. Extremely high turnover. I personally counted well over a dozen employees who either left or were let go within a relatively short window. That level of churn is not normal and should be a red flag to anyone considering joining. Performance management is disorganized and inconsistent. Expectations shift, documentation is sloppy, and processes lack transparency. Micromanagement is intense—down to tracking time in small increments—which creates a culture of surveillance rather than trust. Workflows are chaotic. Feedback and edits are scattered across multiple platforms (Google Docs, Slack, etc.), making it difficult to keep track of direction or priorities. There is a pattern of overpromising in proposals and expecting teams to deliver work that isn’t realistically scoped or resourced. Decision-making is highly top-down. Senior leadership sets direction but pushes execution challenges onto middle managers and staff without adequate support. The environment is stressful to the point of being unhealthy. I experienced significant physical effects from the stress, which ultimately led me to leave.

Vantaggi

The title says it all - if you are looking for meaningful work and a great team of people to do it with, REACH is the place for you! Important, impactful work with a mix of writing, event planning, and creativity. Not to mention, the team is filled with wonderful people I enjoy spending time when we get the chance. I'm thankful to feel part of a team that cares and supports one another all while producing excellent work for our clients.

Svantaggi

Accountability, time management, positivity, and exceptional standards are all qualities for success at REACH and not everyone has them. Oh, and egos are not tolerated.

Vantaggi

The title says it all – if you're looking for work that pretends to be meaningful and a management team that’s more talk than action, REACH is the place for you. Supposedly impactful projects turn into a rotating mess of unecessary internal reviews, chaotic event planning, and “creativity” that gets watered down by constant revisions. Not to mention, the non-magement team is actually full of people I enjoy when we’re not too burned out to interact. It’s hard to feel like part of a team when support is mostly lip service, even as we scramble to deliver for clients who rarely see the behind-the-scenes mess.

Svantaggi

The last few positive reviews were clearly written by management to push the accurate ones further down the page. The review titled "Rewarding Work & Great Team" by "Team member" happens to be written in the CEO's exact writing style. Read the real reviews and you’ll hear about the constant childish behavior, blame-shifting, and shameless lies that former employees endured every day. To current interviewees: take the job if you need the money, but keep interviewing. The truth about REACH is making the rounds, and they are desperate for new employees to abuse. Leave the moment management oversteps your boundaries. No job, especially this one, is worth your mental health.
