Svantaggi
Executive leadership needs to get with the times. They still operate like it's 1952. The CEO self-identifies as "old school" and it definitely shows. They are obsessed with everybody being in the building, even if it is at the expense of employee convenience or comfort. Their office staff gets to work 4x10's while their school based staff gets to work 5x8's. Office staff also gets to work from home two days a week while school based staff does not unless it's Wednesdays after meetings. They are not flexible with work hours either, so office based staff that prefers to work 5x8's cannot because executive leadership is obsessed with control. This means that if I want to talk to someone who is office based on a Friday, they likely won't get back to me until Monday because they won't be working that day. Executive leadership is also very against working from home and does not support flexible work. They basically allowed office based staff to work from home because people were begging for a flexible policy. But to them, working from home means that you're not really working at all. They get nervous when people work from home and the culture of the company shows that this is clear. Plus, to them, working from home means that you are WORKING FROM HOME and cannot work from a location like Starbucks, a local shop, or from another location. They also do weird things like take away the 4th of July as a recognized holiday in the company and play favorites within the office and the schools. They will give jobs to people that they like just to retain them even if the duties of the job are not defined. I enjoyed my job during my time there but wasn't a fan of the way that leadership handled things. No wonder they've had so many resignations in less than a month. They have such a high turnover rate because they cannot pay market rate against other nonprofits that focus on education and technology. Plus, they are also very "fire happy" and HR is not shy to let you know when a colleague is fired. I'd say stay away from this place.
