Pros

New leadership and strategies deployed to turn the org around. Many amazing people work here, however, it appears they are really undervalued. The mission is inspiring, but not clear why people stick around if they’re undervalued.

Cons

This org has a historically toxic environment that stems from the top down. The CEO is non existent, is not visible, accessible or present. He doesn’t know his employees by name or what they do and overall really out of touch. Old school CEO doesn’t belong in a modern workplace. They do not take care of their people fiscally or culturally. Staff that are not VP and above are severely underpaid against the market standards. HR is a huge barrier for progress and change. They do not support growing team members, they are dismissive of staff advocacy, they are not equitable, they do not give regular raises. Performance is not tied to raises. Layoffs with the work piled on other staff to carry the weight. Diversity of staff is severely lacking, especially at the top. There is no work life balance and overall no growth opportunities. There are no culture values.

Pros

Nice office. Flashy for hosting an occasional Hollywood celebrity or two.

Cons

Laid off a third of the company after CEO got in front of everybody saying jobs were safe during the pandemic months prior. Bad business forecasting. An outdated business model dependent on a telecast. Didn't even happen during the period when the government was giving out extra unemployment money. Some employees let go were facing tough situations like battling cancer. You would think an organization who's mission is to make every cancer patient a long-term survivor would know better and that corporate sponsors wouldn't want to support an organization conducting such horrible practices with funds. Super hypocritical. Terrible leadership. Horrible, stuffy and stuck up culture. Executives caught in petty battles. Lack of strategic plan. Out of touch.
