Pluspunten

Some great team members and the organization does good work (when we're allowed).

Minpunten

The organization is hemorrhaging employees (60%+ turn over last year). The CEO, Scott Shields gets by because he's considered a 'nice man' because he runs a human service organization. However, his white gravity gets in the way of him being able to truly empower his teams to do the work they were hired to do. Instead, he micromanages more than is healthy for an organization and looks at equity initiatives as something to 'keep working towards, we're just not there yet.' Scott and his executive team refuse to address unequal power structures and toxic power dynamics within the organization. They smother any creative out of staff and value work based on how long your butt has been within in a chair. The benefits are sub-par and the senior leadership team pats themselves on the back acting like they're providing the best they possibly can to their employees-but failing to acknowledge that many of their employees need to access the same services FT provides in order to keep their head above water.

Pluspunten

The benefits and pay package are some of the worst in the industry.

Minpunten

The Wheatridge office is truly a sight to behold—an architectural masterpiece of neglect. Picture a 1970’s sitcom set that’s been abandoned, dust-coated, and generously sprinkled with litter. Add a steady crowd of unhoused folks milling around the entrance, and voilà: ambiance! The POC staff lovingly call it “the White House”—not for its prestige, but for the complete absence of color anywhere, including leadership. And let’s not forget the board of directors, a group so unrepresentative of the Denver Metro Area they might as well be assembled from a stock-photo catalog titled “Corporate Diversity: 1981 Edition.” As for the shelters, well, if you're a person of color, maybe bring backup—or better yet, don’t. Leadership there subscribes religiously to the Mean Girls: Passive Aggressive Edition handbook. Their white-savior energy could power a small city, and their grasp on reality is… aspirational. Staff quitting, ghosting, or disappearing into the void? Completely normal. Professionalism? Never heard of her. Then there’s the CEO, who graces employees with long emails detailing his weekend adventures and lacrosse escapades—riveting stuff no one asked for. He never visits the shelters, but who needs firsthand knowledge when you’ve got vibes? The hiring standards? If it breathes, it qualifies. Maybe even if it doesn’t. Leadership acts like the popular kids in high school—if the popular kids ran dilapidated shelters and were openly mocked by their own staff. And pay? Let’s just say some clients are making out better financially. Best thing about working in Wheatridge? Imagine Kids Say the Darndest Things, but with adults lacking basic common sense. HR? A myth. Technology? They’ve mastered electricity—barely. Would I recommend Family Tree to peers? Only the ones I truly despise.
