Strong student-first culture and commitment to work-life balance - Director of Human Resources Vermont Adult Learning Employee Review

I've been with VAL for 2.5 years so far and am proud to work with such compassionate and talented people. I feel supported, respected, and entrusted to apply my skills and ideas to the position, programs, and overall organizational infrastructure. Our current Executive Director is a staunch advocate for VAL students, staff, and programming.

Nothing in particular comes to mind

It was a great place to work for until recently. Great coworkers, But not worth the emotional toll.

New CFO is destroying the student centered culture we had. The board members and TB are in collusion to get rid of the people that have worked there the longest. I was there for over 20 years and I had to resign due to the hostile work environment. It hurt to leave because of my students, But the toxicity the CFO has created, has caused anxiety in every staff member throughout VAL. It's not worth the emotional toll leadership imposes on everyone. Look elsewhere. For your own sanity, go somewhere else. Students are the last thing in their minds.
