Internal politics cloud the work of small business development - Operations Coordinator Interise Employee Review

Senior leadership is extremely friendly and accommodating. Remote working environment allows for flexibility and regular company socials allow to connect in a virtual environment.

Limited ability to network with team members in person. Non profit structure makes travel policy a bit difficult to deal with, but not horrible at all.

personally, here was the most disrespected and underappreciated i have ever felt in my entire career. organizationally, here are some larger patterns : 1) super high turnover rate: MORE THAN HALF of all staff left within ONLY 1 year, so you know that clearly says something about this place. 2) poor upper leadership: disorganised, poor accountability, poor communications, so disconnected from the realities of staff, so last-minute with things (poor planning), no mentorship. all these things are interconnected. (all colleagues are aware of this and talk about this)

1--people are passionate and mission-driven (well, that is typical for most nonprofits) 2--many colleagues are great and cool & work well together 3--projects & partnerships are interesting 4--Partnerships are expanding a lot (which is a good thing, BUT bad thing: they don't take staff's capacity/workload into consideration when taking on greater partnerships. they don't hire more people to support existing staff. so staff are overworked. many people work more than 4 0 hours weekly)
