Desventajas
-QUANTITY OVER QUALITY -The insanely convoluted process behind the internal work feels so deeply disconnected to the "community the org wants to serve" -Upper management sets very poor examples of how to "take care of ourselves", this place is a culture of burnout and overworking--far too much pressure on employees due to the org taking on opportunities when they aren't able to staff them or properly equip their current staff -The whole culture of the organization is about growth and expansion, what about the outcomes of the programming? Was it effective? Did we empower children to want to read? Did we instill confidence in youth to believe they can achieve milestones through reading? -The basis of the programming is so reliant on COMPLICATED TECH! How is that accessible? As an internal employee, I do not even understand how the tech works, it feels wrong that non-tech solutions are not the foundation of the programming considering the mission/vision -Good salaries feel like over-compensation for the dysfunctional and socially unsustainable culture of the organization -No clear pathways for career growth, just constantly filling voids of work that need to be urgently attended to -VERY high turnover rate--staff are either dropping like flies or coming in like foot soldiers and it is exhausting -Nonprofit organization that truly operates like a business, it feels like the soul is being sucked out of the organization -The aspiring values of the organization feel like a tool to gaslight employees since they are in no way being acted upon in the now and there is no plan to ever better implement these values moving forward
