Pros of working at Feeding America

The proud feeling you get that you are truly helping the less fortunate.

Cons of working at Feeding America

The abusive behavior of the CEO. She belittled many employees in front of other employees. Having to watch her park her Porsche in front of the building everyday was just one narcissistic that took place daily. Low pay for the hours worked.

How would you improve Feeding America's culture?

I would make sure that leadership was trained better and more personable.

How did you prepare for the Feeding America interview?

I prepared by reading up on Feeding Americans mission and by reading annual reports.

How does your compensation at Feeding America compare to the industry average?

In my position at The Treasure Coast Food Bank my positions salary was far below the industry standard.

What's the diversity at Feeding America like?

The culture was relatively diverse with the exception that the CEO made sure as to surround herself with mostly females. She did not like having male employees and she let everyone know it.

What brings you the most joy at Feeding America?

Once again, I enjoyed the feeling I would get at every food distribution. Seeing the joy in the less fortunate knowing they would have food to eat was second to none.
