What do you like about working at YMCA?
"Good mission, reputation, and benefits, not too demanding workload most of the time."
Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?
"Conservative. Trying to change things quickly will only lead to frustration."
What don't you like about working at YMCA?
"Frustrated by the culture of the place and lack of direction from leadership. Too much time spent on meetings. Leadership seems to take advantage of position and doesn't work nearly as hard as their reports. Underinvestment and disinclination to adopt tools that make it a competitive and effective department. Division between exempt and nonexempt staff, branch vs. corporate office. Fair amount of waste (sites, mileage, excess meetings) that eat up much needed funds and upset branch staff. Little accountability for senior leadership. National office is out of tune with associations."
What suggestions do you have for management?
"Emphasize progress and invest in systems/processes that are timely and effective. Place less stress on meetings. Give very specific goals and measures, invest in tools of contemporaries. Invest more personal time and energy, along with personnel, in meeting the goals of the department."
