Vantaggi

United Way provides a great work environment. The people are professional and engaged, and the benefits very good for a non-profit organization. The mission and goals, to make lasting change in the lives of people, provide a reward beyond the compensation.

Svantaggi

Past situations that have cast negative light on United Way, primarily due to actions of individuals, create an unfavorable perception by some members of the public with whom we are trying to work. Because this is a non-profit, and working to keep overhead costs at a minimum, most employees could likely earn more working in the corporate sector.

Thanks for this perceptive and balanced review. We appreciate it! As you may know, United Way Silicon Valley merged with the United Way of the Bay Area in July, 2016. The combined organization is named United Way Bay Area. We were very pleased to be able to retain very talented fundraising, web design, front desk, and program staff during the merger. Their expertise, talent, and commitment have been invaluable assets as we consolidate our work in the 8 counties that surround the San Francisco Bay. We look forward to having them continue to grow in their careers with us for many years.

Vantaggi

The mission is meaningful and the work itself can be deeply rewarding. Colleagues are talented, dedicated, and genuinely care about the community they serve. For the right person, that camaraderie carries a lot of weight.

Svantaggi

Over the past two years, this organization has undergone significant and painful change. A revolving door of senior leadership, including the abrupt loss of key executives, created instability that trickled down to every level of staff. Layoffs followed, and then a steady stream of voluntary departures that leadership appeared either unable or unwilling to address meaningfully. Under new leadership, nearly every quality-of-life benefit that made nonprofit-level salaries feel worth it has been reduced or eliminated: fewer sick days, increased healthcare costs, loss of Summer Fridays, loss of Thanksgiving week, and a shift to more required in-office days. The cumulative effect is an organization that asks a great deal of its staff, in salary sacrifice and mission commitment, while systematically withdrawing what made that trade-off feel fair.
