Amara is great! - Development and Communications Coordinator bei Amara: Mitarbeiterbewertung

Amara is an organization with great integrity, super smart staff and leadership, and a warm and fun culture. My supervisor is supportive, there are opportunities for advancement and professional development, and it's inspiring to be a part of supporting amazing kids and families. Benefits are decent and in many positions staff are able to flex time as needed as long as the work is getting done.

Amara is a small nonprofit, so salaries are not impressive.

The pay is competitive with other community based child welfare agencies. The health benefits were decent.

The workplace culture is terrible. It's an echo chamber of middle/upper class white women who preach *social justice and inclusion* but have literally no skills or stakeholder interest in putting their money where their mouth is. The work environment is unnecessarily hierarchical, with the organizational flowchart being updated every other month to reward a loyal, longtime employee with a new promotion. Most people with goals for their career beyond hanging out in a swamp of Stepford wives leave as quickly as they're able, either working for a yer or two so it's not a red flag on their resume, or literally ghosting and taking a new job. The only people who seem sincerely happy there (aka not fearfully complaining in private) were those who had been promoted into new roles.
