Pros

The animals. Benefits are decent.

Cons

The worst place I’ve worked. Filled with toxicity and bullies. The staff is problematic, lots of unchecked covert and overt micro aggressions, racism, homophobia and transphobia. White colleagues fail upwards while POC and LBGTQ are overlooked. Chronically under staffed and overworked. And worst of all, incompetent management.

Pros

Working with Dr. Niestat and whole CE team

Cons

•Toxic leadership and favoritism. Management frequently displays unprofessional and immature behavior. Rather than encouraging collaboration, they foster a culture of gossip, retaliation, and selective accountability. •Hostile work environment. After raising legitimate concerns professionally, I was accused of being “disrespectful” and even told I “betrayed” my supervisor comments that were emotionally manipulative and inappropriate for the workplace. •Unequal treatment. Time-off and scheduling policies are inconsistently applied. One team member regularly had their remote days and requests approved with no issue, while mine were revoked without warning after I asked for fairness. •Inappropriate comments. I experienced creepy, unsolicited remarks from a coworker, which went unaddressed even after being reported. •Poor communication. There was no formal training for new systems, responsibilities were unclear, and management often ignored follow-ups or feedback. •Lack of support. Even during personal loss (e.g., putting down a pet), I was not informed of available bereavement days by my own manager.
