As a manager I was supported in making decisions that impacted the organization and programs. The work is rewarding and impactful. It was one of the few jobs where everyone at the org had a good heart and truly wanted each other to succeed. I found working alongside developers and co-workers rewarding but supporting my team and watching them grow into strong innovative professionals was my favorite part.
Senior leadership is terrible
They make decisions without thinking anything through and how it affects field staff. Regional managers are constantly being blamed and having to face the terrible senior leadership team. Employee morale is extremely low. Leadership does not care about field employees. Some resource centers get ZERO support and no advice on getting partners and begging for in kind donations. Overall the worst job I’ve ever worked in my life.
