Pros

Aging Matters has a mission to help seniors age in place by providing phenomenal services. The majority of the current staff loves their clients and strives to be helpful and caring.

Cons

In the past 4 plus years, I have witnessed our administration lose touch with what is important and focus on donations and image instead of our seniors. The main office building recently went through a very unnecessary remodel. How do fancy tile floors help our community? The staff is asked to not bring any photos or items from home. We are discouraged from fraternizing with our colleagues and we are daily micromanaged without rhyme or reason. Thank you's are few and far between and fear is used to keep everyone in line. Compared to other similar jobs, the staff is underpaid and you are made to feel dispensable. Turn around there is so high, those of us who have been there a while don't even bother remembering the new employees names. There is practically a new person introduced each week. We do not get trained in all the agency has to offer but just your job making us uninformed when asked by clients. We don't have staff meetings for all and just the few program directors allowed to talk to our administration staff. There is a chain of command sheet we have to follow which makes people feel alienated.

Pros

Original intention, of the agency, is to provide useful/needed services to the elderly citizens of Brevard County.

Cons

Under the extremely poor leadership by the CEO, the agency has the highest turnover rate and lowest morale in its 51 year history. The CEO is obviously in over her head and is desperately trying to cover her ineptitude by micromanaging the agency to a standstill with her “one direction chain of command theory.” She uses intimidation to keep employees from voicing their concerns to the board of directors and employees are noticeably afraid to speak to each other, much less the board of directors. The work environment is very uncomfortable and no one is provided with the proper skills and training to perform their duties efficiently (no one stays long enough to provide a proper turnover to new employees). It appears, to the staff, that the information the CEO communicates to the board of directors is always spun in a positive light and not truly reflective of what is going on in the agency. The board is oblivious to all of this and at present seems to be around solely to rubber-stamp the inferior decisions of the CEO. If the board decides to maintain its current complacency and the business continues to fail, the board may be held legally responsible for the decisions of the CEO.
