This company is the perfect example of performative allyship and an embodiment of the revenue over people model. The company and it's entire leadership team does not care about its employees and staff is leaving in droves. Management IS NOT leaving, which speaks volumes as they are taken care of.
What did you like most about the interview process?
The interview process is a bit silly, a panel (more than 1 person) interview after a screening stage for an entry level position paying less thank $40,000 was overkill.
What do you like best about the leadership team?
The leadership team lacks emotional intelligence and the capacity to care about their employees. There is nothing I like about executive leadership. My personal leadership team is great but they also struggle against executive leadership.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
The new audience of customer, Generation-Z, cares about how employees at companies they patronize are treated. Employees are not treated well here and Gen-Z will notice and see through the performative allyship in the DEI space sooner or later.
What are some of the best things about your team?
Our team is the only good think about working at WorldStrides. The people at the lower levels do try to make the best of the situation we are in. We support each other and lift each other up when executive management lets us down and puts us down.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
Positivity comes from your direct coworkers, management is negative and see employees as 'money grubbing whiners'. The CEO has told the entire company, when people asked for appropriate pay, that we "want money thrown at us" and he can "fire 100 people" for more money to make people feel badly.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
The compensation is not equal to the work expected. More and more work is piled onto employees with no increase in pay or title. Any requests for re-evaluate of being paid value for output are immediately shut down. Yearly raises do not even cover inflation and cost of living adjustments.
