Elevation Church Reviews

Cons

Salary is lower than similar occupations in other fields.

Cons

Criticism is hard to find.

Cons

There weren't any cons really.

Cons

The hierarchy of the organization promotes very unhealthy leaders, making this organization feel like a dictatorship. There is no value put on the hard work of the employees. There are two sides to working there, the church side and the business side. The church side will guilt you into working hard while the business side will run you to the ground with no scrupules.

Cons

A very superficial, self-involved culture. The church doesn't just pay bottom-tier low salaries, but they are downright PROUD of it. They capitalize on people's dedication. There's almost a caste system of importance, where upper management is coddled by expendable lower employees. This employer knows no boundaries and expects access to every part of their worker's personal lives. You will work horrible hours without a moment's notice, and you will be expected to make the job your number one and only priority in life. The pastor's wife once told us not to be friends with anyone outside the church, so good luck changing the world with that navel-gazing. I learned useful skills here, but be warned that having a church on your resume may not look impressive to some.

Cons

Way too many to list

Cons

it's not what you expect going into it

Cons

Lower pay for demanding work. Easier for men to work in leadership than women. All holidays are work days. Sometimes communication lacks clarity and timeliness.

Cons

Very demanding. They don't care much about your life outside of work. The vibe was sometime weird for me. They treat their pastor like he is a celebrity or inhuman at times. If you don't fit the culture they don't really care much for you. It was sad to be apart of a christian church that didn't really value you as a person or an employee. Can't even count the times that I stayed overnight or worked way too many hours. Felt very under appreciated and used most of the time.

Cons

Like with any thing, there is an adjustment to your rhythm that comes with a new experience. To be a part of the team means to open the throttle of your potential and move full steam ahead to grow the church, your peers, your teams and your self. We work hard.
