How are the career development opportunities at Ministry Brands?

PTO is flexible, autonomy to prioritize assigned work.

No room for Career advancement unless you want to move to sales.

Fantastic growth opportunities, Upward mobility, Supportive leadership, clear vision for the future

So many irons in the fire, sometimes it is a case of being not focused on the most important things.

- Some great team members - Unlimited PTO - Generous company holiday schedule

- Understaffed to meet the current demand/goals - Underpaid and below average merit increases despite meeting/exceeding goals - Lack of career growth opportunities - High turnover

-good team -most team members are very helpful -benefits (unlimited PTO and fully remote)

-working with some of the executive leadership -no advancement opportunities

Very flexible work from home or office environment for modern working families, unlimited PTO, many high-quality, mission-driven colleagues. Lots of opportunities to try out different roles internally and do up-skilling/training.

Inherent chaos stems from running dozens of companies + greenfield projects all under one umbrella organization with teams distributed over 3 continents and 6+ timezones. Communication and requests from executive leadership and customers are often "get this done yesterday" in tone. Most roadmap decisions seem to be driven by what can be done to squeeze the most amount of money out of existing and new customers, instead of trusting product teams to do product discovery & development. The company likes calling itself an Agile shop, but is mostly Waterfall under the guise of SAFe.

One of the biggest advantages of working at Ministry Brands is the people—both my team and our customers. I’m surrounded by supportive colleagues who truly care about each other and collaborate well, and I have the privilege of building meaningful relationships with the customers we serve. Every day, I feel like I’m making a difference by helping ministries better use our software to support their mission. I also genuinely feel like I’m living my dream in this role. I have the opportunity to travel, connect with parishes, and teach others how to confidently use our tools. It’s incredibly rewarding to see the impact of that work firsthand. My supervisor is very supportive and encourages a healthy work-life balance, which makes a huge difference. The PTO and flexibility around time off allow me to recharge and stay energized. Even though I work remotely, the company does a great job creating connection through virtual town halls and fun events like magic shows, contests, and games. It helps bring us together and makes the remote environment feel more engaging. On top of that, I really appreciate the employee recognition platform—it’s a great way to celebrate each other and earn fun rewards like company merchandise and gift cards.

One challenge of working at Ministry Brands is the shift toward virtual training. Prior to COVID, I was traveling about 50% of the time, which allowed for more in-person interaction and deeper engagement with customers. As more clients choose virtual training options, it can be harder to create the same level of connection and hands-on learning experience that naturally comes with being onsite. While virtual training is convenient and efficient, it doesn’t always provide the same energy and relationship-building opportunities as in-person sessions.

The work-life balance is the best part

Organizational restructure caused lots of chaos internally. Little direction or clarity in this company. No way to advance in your career.

- Lot of opportunities for professional growth - Good work life balance

No cons that i can think of

Flexible remote work environment that supports work-life balance. Opportunity to work with churches, ministries, and nonprofits that have a meaningful impact. Supportive coworkers who are willing to help when challenges arise. Remote work eliminates commuting time and expense. Team members are trusted to manage their workloads independently.

Health insurance premiums and out-of-pocket costs can be challenging for employees with families or ongoing healthcare needs. Consider expanding healthcare plan options to provide better affordability and coverage. Remote employees currently absorb internet and home office expenses; a monthly stipend could help offset these costs. More clearly defined career advancement paths would help employees understand growth opportunities. Additional training resources for new products and processes could improve efficiency. Cross-department communication can sometimes be improved to reduce duplicate efforts.

Excellent work-life balance; ability to be independent and not micro managed; opportunity for growth within organization; company values family and volunteering; accountability is highly valued and encouraged; sales goals are aggressive, but attainable; leaders are genuine.

Company can be a bit siloed at times; marketing resources don't seem to be evenly distributed amongst brands; pay is on the lower side for industry and experience level, but reasonable.
