      Pros

      Benefits, PTO, Snow days off when OPS has snow days, work is meaningful

      Cons

      Leadership is HORRIBLE! Starting with the CEO! They do not know how to work with a diverse culture. I began so to notice that they tend to look down on minorities. They treat their employees like children and not adults. If management likes you, you are treated very well. If they do not, they will make it miserable working there. They are very controlling. You will get lashed at for giving constructive feedback. It’s a very toxic and stressful environment which causes the employee to feel afraid if he or she makes a mistake. I will say management will make you feel very welcome when you first start but very shortly afterwards, you will begin to feel unappreciated. It’s a very gossipy environment. So BEWARE!

      While it does not sound like you were with NECC for very long, it saddens us to think that someone, no matter how short their employment, would feel that diversity and inclusion were not present. It would have been nice to have had the chance to discuss these feelings with you during your employment so that the specific details of your concern could have been identified and addressed appropriately. What you mentioned about our employees, that “they really love the work that they do” IS SO TRUE, and so very important. While this may be what attracts a lot of people to our organization, the reason why they stay is because they are proud to be a part of a great team that makes a difference for children and families.

      Pros

      The pay is good, but that's about it.

      Cons

      Here are the problems *Upper management target staff at both necc and oelc in an attempt to get them fired...when you look for dirt on people no matter how amazing they are you will find something *Gossip...seriously mean gossip about others within necc and the oelc is the norm...its worse than anything you experience in high school *upper management say really mean things about the teachers, directors and executive...they really seemed to hate the oelcs *Micromanage all staff...its terrible...people have cried at work more than once over the leadership style of managing *Bad mouth the elcs to other centers though I only know of 1 occurance of this however it's not ok since necc holds the elc grant. *Embarrass staff members IN meetings in front of others...this has occurred with Necc staff and to teachers at the elc...they like to humiliate *Pay increases are public within the company in a strange attempt to motivate but instead again humiliates staff *The work environment is toxic...everyone is so mean to each other...either you adapt and take part or they get rid of you *highest management doesnt seem to care and seems to perpetuate the toxic climate by taking part they also encourage terminations of elc staff when they shouldnt be involved *seriously one of the meanest companies I've ever worked for the great pay isnt worth the stress I would tell everyone considering this company to avoid it which is sad

      Thank you for the feedback. While it is difficult to tell from your post, it sounds like you may have been employed with one of our partners, and not by NECC. Either way it is evident that you did not have a good experience and that is unfortunate. Nebraska Early Childhood Collaborative is a shared services provider and child care partner for the OELC. To clarify, these are two separate organizations. Because of this close partnership, we understand where there could be some misconception as to which organization is responsible for operating the centers. Personally, I like that you mentioned hiring people who are kind and who care. NECC is committed to recruiting talented people with those attributes, to continue the mission of providing quality early education for our communities.
