Good place to work while I was there, but being ruined by badly implemneted strategic plan - Instructor Braille Institute Employee Review

1) Even when you are in an admin role, being around people being helped in real, tangible ways every day makes you feel good. 2) Really good 403b match compared to other NGOs I've worked at 3) New employee resource groups around blindness and neurodiversity 4) I've worked for a ton of nonprofit organizations. This is the first time I've seen a strategic plan that is both aggressive, yet realistic. 5) Because we don't get federal dollars, we have not felt the turmoil other nonprofits have gone though. This is a very steady organization.

The organization is going through some long-overdue changes to bring us up to date and that can be hard. Some of the senior staff were let go recently, which didn't always land well. As a result, I think some of my colleagues feel it. Since most of that happened as part of phase I of a new strategic plan, I'm hoping things settle down and time will heal all, but we'll see.

Braille is a top-notch company to work for with a good compensation and benefits package. One of my favorite aspects is the culture. One of the best in that regard that I have ever experienced in a workplace. Everyone is so friendly and kind. They also take great pride in their employees and promote career development so that everyone can be the best they can be. The Occupational Therapy staff are all very helpful and it is all about being a team - even if your workplace is miles away from each other. I feel appreciated and supported and consider this job an amazing opportunity.

I do not have any cons at this time.
