Poorly Run, Unethical Organization

Pros

In theory, the mission of Children at Risk is worthy and the people that work in non-management roles within the organization are wonderful. Furthermore, employees tend to be incredibly smart, passionate and capable.

Cons

An organization is only as strong as its leader and CEO Bob Sanborn is an absolute nightmare. He doesn't have any idea how to run an organization, finances were in constant disarray and fundraising practices were dubious at best. Fundraising events were more costly than beneficial, grant funds were mismanaged and turnover is abysmal. On top of that, the management team does not challenge the incredibly poor decisions made by the CEO to create an environment where quality staff cannot be retained and where the reputation of the organization within the community is being irreparably damaged. And finally, the references made to Bob Sanborn's sexist, homophobic behavior are unfortunately 100% accurate. A competent leader should understand it's not okay to ask female employees when they want to have a baby or speculate about an employee's sexual orientation to other employees. Completely unprofessional and an embarrassment to the organization and its Board of Directors.
