B Lab reviews

Salaries sit pretty low for the amount of hours, the level of detailed work, and the amount of pressure that comes with roles. In fact, salary has been deemed non-negotiable by HR / management, so there isn't an opportunity for workers to even advocate for an amount that feels appropriate. Salary really is a topic that seems taboo at B Lab, and brings up tension when discussed. The teams are also fairly resource constrained. There are some clear efficiencies that can be adopted, but because people have so much on their plates it seems like correcting or improving processes doesn't happen the way it should. When improvements are introduced, these often feel like quick wins that slightly miss the mark rather than very thought out ideas for long-term change. When solutions do miss the mark, or KPI's are not achieved, there is little to no accountability for leadership on this front. Finally, there is a long history of wellness related issues. People have a really hard time finding work/life balance and often feel like after 1+ years compensation doesn't align with the actual workload. Engagement survey's rarely highlight improvements on this front, but never has there been serious change in this regard despite the abysmal results. It's hard to feel like the employee experience is central to the organization without anyone taking accountability for these poor results or making a strong / radical effort to improve engagement.

Hardly any, even salaries at this non-profit are quite competitive in my opinion.
