Development Review - werkgeversreview Anonieme werknemer bij Amara

The staff at Amara are passionate about the mission to support youth in foster care, foster families, kinship caregivers, and parents working to reunify with their children.

Sometimes feels like you are not equitably paid for the amount of work you produce while others are.

The pay is competitive with other community based child welfare agencies. The health benefits were decent.

The workplace culture is terrible. It's an echo chamber of middle/upper class white women who preach *social justice and inclusion* but have literally no skills or stakeholder interest in putting their money where their mouth is. The work environment is unnecessarily hierarchical, with the organizational flowchart being updated every other month to reward a loyal, longtime employee with a new promotion. Most people with goals for their career beyond hanging out in a swamp of Stepford wives leave as quickly as they're able, either working for a yer or two so it's not a red flag on their resume, or literally ghosting and taking a new job. The only people who seem sincerely happy there (aka not fearfully complaining in private) were those who had been promoted into new roles.
