It’s just a job covered in spiritual jargon.

Pros

Benefits are great. Work/life balance is great.

Cons

Don’t go deeper in Christ publicly than the Life.Church brand can allow for. No prayer involved in the workplace. Lukewarm leaders.

Pros

Cool offices and environment, a great Senior pastor, positive and encouraging overall vision.

Cons

Lifechurch is built on top of young adults willing and able to make life, time and compensation sacrifices. If you have a family, kids in school, commitments outside of work, good luck having enough time and making enough pay to generally support your family. You'll be asked to sacrifice a healthy amount of your time for the greater good, which again doesn't work well in the context of families (but is capable for young employees with little commitments). You'll be paid 40-60% of your market rate salary. Don't expect to ever make what you're actually worth in the regular job market. Personal development is minimal to non existent despite it being touted as a benefit of joining the team. My team leaders did not encourage professional nor personal development. I came away with the general feeling that leadership was too heavily focused on the mission and very little thought was given to the people making the mission happen. 1. In the 2 years I worked there, I never once had a personal lunch with my leaders. 2. My Head Team leader did not know the date of my last workday, despite a 2 full weeks notice and it being a substantial departure. This can only lead me to believe that the people making the mission happen are not valued in comparison to the mission itself. We are merely resources that come and go and the turnover is there to prove it.

Pros

Good benefits, co-workers are genuinely happy to be there which makes work a fun, enjoyable place to be.

Cons

Low pay, long hours, expected to work after hours, and leadership will always require more and more. If you hit your goals too early then you should have set a bigger goal, but if you don't hit your goals then you need to improve your performance. Then when you hit your goals at just the right time then your leader starts asking for more and more. Leadership and upper management are never satisfied with your performance.

We agree that the work we do is demanding, but we fully believe in working from a place of rest so that we can always work with excellence. Open communication is key to resolving any issues, so we encourage you to bring these concerns to your leader. If you have more specific ways we could get better at promoting a better work-life balance, we’d love to hear from you! You can always connect with your HR Partner for help in this issue or any others. Your well-being is very important to us!
