Family Culture

Program Director (Current Employee) - Alameda, CA - May 6, 2022

My supervisors especially the CEO have been so supportive of my innovative ideas that I want to see turn into reality. there is a sense of belonging and it truly feels like a family environment- we’d bring food we cook for each other and find the time to laugh. The job culture is right up my alley and feels at home.

Pros

Benefits, my supervisors, Ceo, Hr, work locations, and staff’s amazing cooking!

Cons

Too many new programs happening fast, take it slow, & make sure there are enough staffing to support program expansion.

Felton is an incredible place to work

Leadership (Current Employee) - San Francisco, CA - May 15, 2021

It is a huge non profit so it isn't perfect. But its a super supportive and inclusive work environment in which employees voices are heard. Employees are given internal opportunities for growth. The leadership is very diverse and the company really does LIVE ITS MISSION. Felton is a super old non profit but it is also very innovative and flexible, which is incredibly unique. I am happier working here than anywhere I have ever worked before.

Pros

Leadership are diverse, supportive, caring and flexible

Cons

Huge non profit so a lot of the same issues that persist everywhere

Opportunity for training and CEU's

Therapist (Former Employee) - San Mateo, CA - March 31, 2020

Challenging but rewarding work with participants and families. Workplace is supportive and diverse. Training and CEU's are provided. One improvement would be in the area of benefits.

Stressful Environment

Administrative Assistant (Current Employee) - San Francisco, CA - December 20, 2017

The environment is very competitive and individualistic. The communications about expectations are unclear, and one is never sure if one is doing something correctly. Priorities constantly shift.
