Pros
I’m not an Executive and I have been with the organization for over 4 years and at least half of the Paley employees have been with the organization for many years - some 15+ years and even some 25+ years! People stay for sound reasons including our mission and the team. It’s pretty straightforward. We are asked to do our jobs and at times expectations are not met but most of the time they are. Regardless, we are responsible for the outcomes. To say that some reviews are dishonest is not right and feels more like an attack. Someone can write about their positive experiences just as someone writes about their negative experiences. I will write my personal truth. I have had both positive and negative experiences at Paley. Yes, sometimes the workload is trying and feel like you’re always going uphill. I am sure most people have this with any organization they have worked for. Some of the positives have been more regular communication from management - like the company-wide 2020 launch where CEO bought everyone together to start the year off right. And as it has become a challenging year for all of us, the CEO relieved our concerns and announced that there were no layoffs, no furloughs and no reductions in pay and has been sending weekly updates to check in and encourage us to take care of ourselves and our families. That is a major positive and I’m grateful.
Cons
At times, there is difficulty balancing work and life. There has to be a focus on time management, so people can plan their personal time.
