Harassment and bullying are pervasive and any attempt to report is met with punitive action. Many coworkers have developed serious mental health issues in response to the toxic environment. Most of the people in decision making roles know very little about the field and completely ignore the expertise and experience of those in more junior roles. There is very little being accomplished other than fundraising and holding mediocre events (refusal to pivot or innovate during the changing world). Even though centers are full of passionate experts in the field, their skills are incredibly underutilized to the point where professional development is at risk. Listen to every negative review! The slight pros are not worth complete unhappiness nearly every working moment.
