United Way Calgary leadership not the best - Anonymous employee United Way Employee Review

Good company, you can see their mission and that they really care about the community

Job can be very stressful at times, you will be cursed at

4 weeks of vacation plus holidays, good insurance, decent pension program, Knowing you're making a difference.

So. Much. Micro-management. Even as a vice president, you will make no decision that isn't second guessed by the CEO. HR is overly complicated and hiring practices are so rule-bound that quick hires are almost impossible. The people that are hired are all excellent and really good at their jobs but each decision they make is second guessed away until everyone has a sense of learned helplessness- nothing can be done quickly because it has to be run past the CEO before it can be implemented.
