Pros

The mission makes you feel good about helping people in a health crisis. Small organization means you get the opportunity to work with just about everyone in the company.

Cons

Management changes focus often, which leads to few product improvements going live. There's a huge focus on fundraising, and not much on improving the product. Management does not believe in promoting from within.

Pros

Lovely people, great mission. It is what people need during a health event.

Cons

Management shifts every 6 months, they think they know where they want to go but the team assembled to get them there have no experience with how to make it happen.

Pros

Mission and service provided to families is noble and provides support for those that need it.

Cons

The noble mission of CaringBridge is not reflected in the workplace setting at all. It's quite the opposite. Sr. Leadership continually pressures employees to bring in more donation dollars, more sites to be created each day and more registered users. It's not relational, creative or empowering for staff. The environment is so management heavy for the number of employees and more titles than a large coporattion that all it promotes is political games. And the titles can change at the tip of a hat which makes staff feel off balance all the time. On the outside it looks like this perfect happy nonprofit that promotes a great service, but on the inside it's a dysfunctional organizational nightmare where risk taking is not promoted and you are to stay in your "cube" and do what's on your job description (which could change in a heartbeat).
