Disappointing Experience

Pros

Great benefits and generous retirement

Cons

Very little accountability for those in power Culture is largely based on “superiority mindset” Every person I was hired with stepped off the team within a year There is a lot of talk about culture - however, in my experience the culture for employees at the bottom of the totem pole was quite different than what leadership at the top advertised.

We’re genuinely thankful for your feedback. A career at Life.Church isn’t the best fit for everyone, so during the hiring process, we do everything we can to make sure we find the best fit not just for our team, but for each applicant as well. Unfortunately, we don’t always get it right. Our turnover rates are still much lower than most other organizations our size. It’s why over the years we’ve been able to celebrate with leaders who have reached 5-, 10-, 15-, and even 20-year milestones on our team. We're sorry your experience working here wasn’t what you hoped it would be. It’s our hope that everyone who works here grows stronger personally, professionally, and spiritually every day. We appreciate the feedback regarding accountability for leaders. We currently utilize several tools to empower staff the opportunity to provide feedback anonymously, such as Gallop Q12, and tools for all staff to help in self-awareness and personal development such as EQ testing and Operational 360. We are always looking for ways to improve and will take your feedback into consideration.

Pros

-It was fun working with friends! I met some great people during my time. -I thought the pay was pretty good! along with the benefits! -I liked the laid back dress code!

Cons

-Each campus can be a vastly different atmosphere and everyone tries to be chill and normal about it but, it is really concerning that each campus has a slightly different culture. -It is just flat-out hard to work and worship in the same place. It's complicated and weird that your boss is also your pastor. The same guy who yells at you in a staff meeting for not getting the numbers you were supposed to get that weekend, is the same guy who's supposed to lead you on stage and be there to help pastor you on the weekends. -Sharing every single thing about your personal, professional, spiritual, financial, romantic, etc. life the expectation. It felt like there were no boundaries.
