The "dream" job is a nightmare - Anonymous employee Planned Parenthood Employee Review

This is by far the worst work experience I have ever had. I've been in the non profit world for 10+ years at this point and while the entire non-profit industrial complex has problems, PP takes the cake. They are the very definition of white feminism. They are only interested in how things look, rather than implementing real structural change. If you are a cis, white, straight women, this is the place for you! If you fall anywhere outside of that description, get ready to be passed over for promotions but photographed to push their "diversity" cred. I am non-binary and was endleslly misgendered. I corrected a co-worker on this once and she proceeded to laugh in my face. I reported to my supervisor who feigned concern but absolutely no follow up was done. I was constantly seeing my BIPOC coworkers treated with disrespect, both overtly and through microaggressions. They purposefully over-schedule their clinics. I worked many 10+ hour days with no break or a dinner that consisted of me desperately shoving whatever food was nearby in down my throat while standing over a sink. Management literally looks all the same; as in, if you are a person who does fall outside that white/cis/straight metric you will be soon styling your hair in Euro-centric fashion and any semblance of individuality you have will soon be gone. They're anti-union, anti-worker, and just aren't actually progressive. The pay is abysmal even though donations and grant money are constantly rolling in. The oft cited mantra of "do it for the cause" has been weaponized if you dare ask for better employee treatment. Honestly, NEVER work here. You are far better off in smaller clinics and there are other orgs doing better, actually progressive work, that will both treat you better and pay you a living wage. The stories I have of employee neglect are endless. It was my lifelong dream to work for PP and after three years I can only report that it is a night mare.
