Pros

the kids! the mission!

Cons

The turnover in the last year is alarming. I know seven people who have left in the last 9 months (by choice). It is a very different culture than before. I hear management doesn't encourage any peer or supervisor feedback, the culture is not one which embraces honest communication and feedback; this is very different from the prior culture that embraced innovation and excellence. Literally everyone from the senior team in 2018 has been let go or quit. yikes.

Pros

Great mission is obvious, but you find many jobs that have embedded time for self care and personal development.

Board is out of touch.

Pros

Getting books to kids, you can be friends with co-workers.

Cons

A CEO who lies to herself and others. I wasn't going to write in but I noticed a recent review from an administrative assistant. I spoke to the last 3 at the organization and all ended their time here badly!! None of them wrote it which leads me to believe that this is a fake review submitted by the current CEO. If that's true then it's really desperate. I see that the Senior Director of Finance is STILL on the website 2 months after they left. This is either a deliberate lie or incompetence. If someone doesn't work there, take them off. Trying to hide understaffing won't work. Book Trust has been without two Directors now for a whole quarter. Health benefits were cut with no warning to employees, everyone stressed out and overworked. Public tax information: this CEO pays herself $160,000.00 a year when the organization is failing, understaffed and overworked. It's a disgrace and the board should remove her.
