A cult? Or just a floundering philanthropy?

Pros

Benefits for employees are great: cheap health insurance, 25+ days off a year, spiritual development fund, etc.

Cons

Where do I start? The organization is falling apart. Every month it is a less a philanthropy and more a corporation. Staff are being so overworked that the CEO apologizes for it in staff meetings. Multiple departments with leadership who have no people skills, no willingness to work with other departments, and out of control egos. There is also no longer any job security- two long term employees have resigned before being fired and another was given almost no training then fired before 6 months. Higher ups assume the world from you with minimal training, minimal in person contact and low transparency. The Institute is committed to creating a movement of love, however the CEO and President are insisting on working with Republican/right-wing lead organizations that are full of hate.

Pros

Great org culture, phenomenal benefits, and a positive mission. Fetzer offers great benefits including really good medical package, spiritual wellness resources, and generous time off. Staff are hardworking, kind, compassionate, and competent. Salaries are also competitive and HR department is thoughtful and open to staff suggestions. Employees can show up as themselves and be welcomed for authenticity!

Cons

The organization can take a long time to make decisions and culture struggles to address conflict which can slow progress at times. Career growth can be ambiguous.
