Vantaggi

Work/Life balance is a priority at United Way of the Bay Area. Comp time, plenty of PTO and other benefits are available to all employees. Employees in the Development Department are exposed to a wide variety of professionals and executives, making the position valuable for networking. Unionized work place provides job security as well as annual pay increases.

Svantaggi

Age and years of experience are valued far more than performance or productivity. Inconsistent HR policies (such as working-from-home privileges, performance reviews, etc) confuse employees and lend themselves to favoritism. Almost constant re-organization of company priorities mean that employees are constantly shifting projects, assignments and managers.

Thanks for recognizing the commitment that the United Way of the Bay Area has made to providing solid benefits to its employees! Annual performance reviews and quarterly goals check-ins for all employees are an important part of the organization's talent management philosophy. As part of its continuing commitment to work/life balance, UWBA has implemented flexible start times, expanded the availability of alternative work schedules, and broadened telecommuting options. Since adopting Salesforce in 2012, UWBA has become much more able to deliver on its commitment to transparency by posting all policies within this important, centralized, and easily accessible communication vehicle.

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.
