A poorly managed and deeply flawed workplace

Pros

Always overworked and underpaid staff never runs out of work to do. Rampant sexism and racism makes redundant meetings go quickly since men always interrupt women and only a few laugh at the inappropriate jokes. Don't worry about work life balance because it doesn't exist.

Cons

Skewed pay scale, toxic work environment, poor communication, low staff morale and high turnover. Management says lots about change and culture but does very little. There are several inappropriate relationships between management that often results in the disclosing of sensitive information. Timecards are edited ensure no overtime is taken. LGBTQ+, women and racial minorities are openly mocked and disrespected. Under-qualified individuals often get hired and/or promoted.

Pros

It doesn't take long to make really good friends here. You'll work with every age and stage and gain an appreciation for every part of the Body of Christ. The staff laughs together and supports each other. In addition, the health and retirement benefits are great. There is always leftover food around, if you're like me and enjoy a midday pick-me-up.

Cons

Leadership has a habit of letting the most skilled employees down by overworking them, that is, giving them responsibilities that belong to other roles and simply keeping the place understaffed. Communication between departments continues to struggle.
