Relatively few people here are welcoming, though they are friendly enough over kiddush. The community has been pulled back and forth across several leadership changes in the last 15 years: those in favor of Rabbi 1 therefore disliked Rabbi 2 who replaced him, and therefore liked when 2 was let go in favor of 3. This schism is rarely apparent at the surface and unavoidable just below.
Good: lay-led services
Good: whiskey at kiddush
Bad: heavy reliance on "the way we've always done it"
Bad: the rabbi gives a long, not-particularly-well-thought-out dvar torah almost every week despite there being plenty of academics and other people with both interesting perspective and good diction
Bad: educational philosophy that keeps children more or less out of the service until their bar mitzvah, at which point the kid has been taught to think the day is about them rather than about the community welcoming them
Bad: little recourse; the rabbi, executive committee, and ritual committee are all buddy-buddy and it's impossible to seek improvements in any one of the the three because they are all close friends of each other.
Bad: on a related note to the above, the rabbi claims and is attributed credit for innovations that are certainly not his
