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.
