Working at United Way of Greater Chattanooga

Flexible hours and workplace, lots of effort to improve the culture of the company.

Nonprofits are always limited on resources, but UWGC does a good job of still serving its employees well with benefits and salary.

Extremely generous time off, especially around the holidays with a closed office for almost two full weeks. It allows a great reset for families and employees.

Her willingness to talk to all employees and hear them. She is not an overlord.

More communication, which is challenge to do with a company that has a small team who are constantly working hard.

I spoke to several past employees.

The teammates are great to work with

Incredible benefits including almost complete flexibility, generous PTO, great team of supportive people, doing really impactful work for our community to build economic mobility for families in financial hardship.

I love my boss. She's always so excited for me when new things come up, or I have new opportunities and she's willing to do whatever it takes to make sure I get where I want to go. SO SUPPORTIVE!

AS a non-profit and often times grant funded positions, the pay is as comparable as it can be

I'll be honest, our organization is not very diverse despite the diverse community we work, but I feel whole heartedly that we strive to hire a diverse staff.

Personally, the most fulfilling aspect of working at United Way is the opportunity to make an impact to youth of our community.

Work/family balance is wonderful.

So many programs and constant changes, difficult to keep up with.

Insurance benefits plus PTO make it possible to truly put your family first.

Transparency is at the top of the list for this leadership team.
