To busy - Wrangler Zajac Ranch for Children Employee Review

Really good place to work

No bad things to say

The people who aren’t management are really nice.

Poor Management and Communication: Internal disagreements within the family-run management team led to inconsistent direction and uncertainty among staff. • Broken Promises (Bonuses, Job Opportunities): Commitments, including financial incentives and potential long-term roles, were not honored. • Unprofessional Work Environment: Misunderstandings over absences, favoritism within family-run leadership, and lack of follow-through on staff concerns. • Low Staff Morale: Concerns were raised but not addressed, making staff feel unheard and undervalued. • High Staff Turnover: Frequent departures, especially in key roles like Barn Staff and Camp Directors, contributed to instability. • Concerns About Animal Welfare: Observations of inadequate care for animals raised ethical concerns. • Cost-Cutting Prioritized Over Experience: Despite being a non-profit, decisions appeared to focus more on cutting expenses than improving staff and camper experiences. • Lack of Constructive Feedback: Staff often felt scrutinized for mistakes rather than supported through constructive criticism or recognition for their efforts. • Burnout and Frustration: The combination of poor management, lack of appreciation, and unfulfilled promises led to a negative work experience.
