SCORE Reviews

1. Senior staff needs management skills training, coaching on how to be honest and professional in a workplace 2. Strategic planning does not exist at this organization 3. Accountability to CEO is non-existent 4. Staff are treated very poorly and much differently than senior staff 5. There is no designated HR department so if you have an issue, you are out of luck 6. The benefits are pathetic - no health insurance for dependents is just one of the problems 7. The office building is in horrible condition-looks more like a storage space than an office 8. Technology used is outdated 9. Lacking diversity and no intentions to improve this

Some managers are pretty awful to work under. They micromanage everything and just react to problems instead of planning ahead. The executive team, run by Bridget Weston (not Ken Yancy who was let go from SCORE 10 years ago), seems way in over their heads and honestly doesn't seem to know what they're doing. It's frustrating watching a 60-year-old organization fall apart because leadership can't figure out basic planning. They never bothered to create backup funding plans, so when government money got tight, they just started laying people off left and right. Meanwhile, leadership keeps spending money on unnecessary travel and in-person meetings that could easily be done over Zoom. The whole focus has shifted from helping small businesses for free to trying to squeeze money out of everyone, which feels wrong given what SCORE is supposed to be about.
