ASPCA reviews

The culture in my department was very toxic, stemming from toxic leadership. By the time I left, turnover was at an all-time high due to low pay and emotional burnout. No opportunities for growth. Personally, I also believe, after seeing many things firsthand, that the ASPCA wastes donor money in many unnecessary ways. Much of it is spent well, but much of it is not.

1) Culture: TERRIBLE place for anyone who is not a white, affluent, straight person with strong ties to christian/classist values. 2) Leadership: Absolute worst CEO and executive leadership team. I cannot stress this enough. Leadership is an absolute joke. Their ways of thinking are outdated and out of touch. They don't know how to run meetings. They have standards and values rooted in the 1990s corporate workplace. Not receptive to feedback. 3) HR: Terrible: no support for employees at at all; treat employees poorly. 4) Senior Managers: unqualified, bitter, easily threatened unreliable, pretentious. 5) Professional Development/Career Advancement: No opportunities to advance in your role and senior leaders who want to "move up" in the org will do everything they can do prevent you succeeding because they are easily threatened and want the minimal opportunities for advancement for themselves. Senior managers/directors see productive employees as a threat to them moving up the leader ladder. Worst offenders at the org: Leaders/Managers in Humane Law Enforcement, Strategy and Research and Legal Advocacy and Investigations, the People Team.
