Pros

An amazing network of members that are all doing important and fascinating work!

Cons

The company was founded by seemingly strong, independent women, who then turned over complete control of their company to an insecure, dysfunctional megalomaniac. David is good at hype, and an absolute nightmare at everything else. There is nowhere to turn to for help. The founders support him 110% while he drains and overextends his staff until there's nothing left. By the time I left I was doing twice what I was hired and paid for, and being asked to be promoted to department manager without any increase in salary or increase in support staff.

Pros

This review is for Impact Hub in Austin, TX The only saving graces about working at Impact Hub were: 1. I got to meet great people who co-worked out of the space. It attracts social enterprises and people who genuinely want to make the world a better place. 2. Creative interior design.

Cons

This review is for Impact Hub Austin, TX Impact Hub Austin has an unhealthy work environment and I strongly urge anyone who is considering a staff position there to proceed with extreme caution. It’s a shame that Impact Hub Austin doesn’t live up to its publicly espoused values. If it did, it would be an awesome place to work. It’s also ironic that a company that claims to be a hub for the “movement for good” treats its employees with such disrespect. These are the challenges I experienced: -Employees were not paid on time or are asked to accept deferred payment due to budgeting issues -Employee concerns and challenges were never acknowledged or addressed. -Sexist undertones -There was an over-emphasis on smiling, sharing feelings, and being vulnerable. -People who were not excessively cheerful or optimistic were dismissed as “poor culture fits”
-There was not enough value on professionalism, punctuality, work ethics, clear communication, and high quality deliverables.
-Supervisor was rude, egotistical, patronizing, judgmental, and disrespectful  -Dissenting or opposing views were deemed inappropriate -Supervisor did not provide specific feedback -Employee roles, responsibilities and expectations were nonexistent or shifting and contradictory -Tasks were micromanaged -High staff turnover rate made it challenging to build moment and team rapport
