Generation NOPE - Anonymous employee Generation Hope Employee Review

The vision and leadership of the organization are the biggest pros: motivated, driven, passionate, fair, experienced, creative, energetic, and successful. The organization is exemplary across every vertical. They are building a motivated, experienced team. Generation Hope has set the standard in the realm it works in. The positive impacts of the work are immense. There are many highly talented people. It is also a very family-friendly organization with great PTO and good benefits. Leadership is always looking for new ways to optimize employee experience. The new office is nice. The resources available are strong for skilled professionals. If you enjoy meaningful, engaging work and have a deep commitment to race equity this is a great place to be. Most of the staff are really grateful to get to work with leaders who want to help them grow and succeed. There are many kind and gracious people here who truly care about this mission.

The non-factual messages on this Glassdoor don’t tell the real story. Many of the negative messages here are from a few troubled employees and ex employees who have harmful agendas, behaviors, and motives. Generation Hope is a great organization to work for. Time always puts things into perspective. The unfair messages on here won’t age well. Only 10% of nonprofits in the United States are led by people of color and staff need to support leaders of color - and listen to them. There is a trend of entitlement and hubris among a small clique of people. If you are experienced in the nonprofit sector you will love working here. If you are new, you can learn from some of the best and grow.

The mission is an admirable one and working with the Scholars.

My experience at Generation Hope, like many others, was one marred by retaliatory practices and a hostile environment carried out by inept supervisors, worsened by the delusion and denialism of the executive leadership team. The dissonance felt on a weekly basis when being told by leadership that the organization is at a positive apex while pushing out around 15 employees (the highest turnover I've ever seen) was astronomical, and only worsened the deep mistrust in leadership sowed by their own doing. Executive leadership has never been more exposed in where their priorities lie as they took a scorched earth approach in order to snuff out the union efforts at all costs, weaponizing those the program aided and demonizing those who worked on the union efforts. The leaders here very clearly do not care about their own staff, as shown through them pushing out about ~40% of the team; They care most about unsustainable expansion at all costs. I could not discourage working anywhere more.
