Braille Institute reviews

Red tape, weak benefits and family leave policies, increasing culture of suspicion and staff reporting on each other for minor issues, increasing job instability due to cuts. The new CEO was great for the first year or two but lost his way. I don't disagree with any of the reviews about greater transparency until earlier this year; we were building a team with great potential and had a good plan for building national remote programs as well as strong programs at our centers. There was also some work on diversity initiatives including a better culture for blind employees. but now dozens of staff members have been let go, sometimes suddenly and with no stated reason, and many of the positive improvements to regional centers such as transportation support are gone.

Some in higher positions still operate from outdated mindsets and resist change. This slows momentum at times, but the culture is shifting.
