Becoming too Corporate

Pros

somewhat flexible environment, some of the benefits are rather good; such as vacation, do have a 401k

Cons

Major disconnect with management. We have a H/R named People & Culture who wants to win "WA best place to work" and spends tons of time and energy studying and discussing the metrics. The most important metric left out of the study is why about 30% of the workforce has been managed out or has left in the past year. Net loss of about 20 workers remains out of less than 100 total. You can't have both- overall happiness never mind best happiness, when at the same time many people are afraid for their job or highly turned off by recent re-orgs. I think that previous mgmt. had some faults, no one is perfect, but a Management without empathy in a non-profit doesn't have much going for it. Salaries at the top are too high relative to others.

Pros

Great benefits package, flexible work schedule, good work/life balance

Cons

Destructive and divisive culture, lots of management turnover, too much hierarchy, leadership lacks direction and transparency, risk adverse, negative work environment, employees are not empowered or invested in and are treated as if they are dispensable, little room for growth.
