Pros
- used to have a generous benefits package, but now employees pay for their own health insurance - 4 weeks pto, 2 weeks sick (which most people use for mental health days due to burnout) - fun environment to host events/network with members - beautiful locations to work out of - community colleagues are great
Cons
- everything, and i mean everything, is left for community to handle. we are the POC for all member, and upper leadership is constantly dumping new initiatives on us, then changing their mind a week later which proves to be inconsistent with members - no room for growth at all if you are in community, unless you want to relocate to nyc or chicago - all cross-functional teams treat community as entry level employees and do not relay any information or handle support requests in a timely manner. this causes poor member interaction, and we are left to deal with upset members. - constant budget cuts and restructuring. how are you supposed to throw 2-3 events a week and only order through the approved vendor, when you let go the wework contact that was in charge of said partnership. - no accountability for senior staff. community teams work every single day in office, but other teams are able to work remote - no significant raise, and the bonus structure has changed. given inflation and cost of living, we are basically taking a massive pay cut.
