Vantaggi
WestEd offers great work life balance on the operational side of business. Benefits are good including PTO, retirement etc. Co-workers are generally nice people and supportive. Managers did give the opportunity to find your own path and create a niche for your role, but was often not rewarded.
Svantaggi
Pay is average to below average compared to industry standards. Raises, incentives, and benefits were recently cut back related to loss of business. This has brought down morale overall. There is limited opportunity for growth and movement within the company, a lot of staff are just complacent in their job roles, it is easy to fall in to the same mode. WestEd promoted best practices and guidance to clients, but failed to follow the same principles internally.
