Pros

The overall look and feel of the DC office, in addition to a commitment to make Chicago office improvements is encouraging

Cons

For whatever reason a variety of leaders in the organization have formed alliances and made deliberate, uninformed determinations (and sure as heck don't know people's names or what they do) of others. The group who is advocating for the NRA to "Keep Cleaning House NRA" - is an apparent attempt to create a (weak) battle cry designed to get people to rally around those they deem spineless, lazy, late, transactional, no-good doers of nothing, out of the organization. Because apparently the only ones who care about the NRA are the chosen few who rule by fear and favoritism and quite frankly break rules for others to suffer the consequences. Oh. And the only people who have expressed concerned about the direction of the company and some of the jacked up decisions that have been made - well - has anyone ever thought that maybe some of those you call "malcontents" that you so quickly want to toss aside are indeed some of the best you've got. They embrace change, they remove mountains, who create life changing opportunities, who help members thrive and prosper. Who essentially, care about the people we serve and the livelihoods our industry supports The mudslinging taking place on Glass Door is simply childish. Are people using Glass Door because not a dang thing was done with the employee survey? We saw to or three dressed up slides. That's it. And that speaks volumes. People!!! Glass Door impacts, every single day, people both inside and outside of our four walls. Mudslinging is seen by members of industry, job seekers, recruiters, media, state partners, board members and even donors. Bottom line. You're interrupting our groove. I say the Pollyanna "YAY YEAM" and crabby malcontents should find other employment. Go be the change you want see elsewhere and let us do our thing, and do it well, with respect, commitment and without all the noise which just drags us all down.

Thank you for your extensive feedback. I share your perspective that anonymous comments made on Glassdoor can impact the external perception of our organization as a place to work. It's also challenging for me to understand the context of observations made anonymously. All of our executives were briefed in detail on their teams' engagement survey results and assigned the task of taking appropriate follow-up actions. I invite you to reach out to your executive for greater detail. I encourage you to contact me directly (DSweeney@restaurant.org) for further discussion.
