Pros
Wonderful people, nice building, always a lot going on
Cons
- Employee morale is abysmal. There's a lot of people and all they talk about is how much The Carter Center sucks. Constant venting is the only way to get through it, but that's a terrible mental health environment to be in.
- Temp program is not temporary. People will "temp" in a full time capacity for up to 3 years without receiving PTO, healthcare, or basic job security, all to save a few bucks so management can fly first class to Europe. Shocking that this is legal (?)
- Public job descriptions are lies. They'll make you do whatever they want whenever they want.
- Junior staff (even those receiving benefits) are underpaid $10 to 20k
- The work is mostly for show. Hardly anyone actually helps the world. It's just a vanity project to get on panels and make speeches in flashy places.
- Zero professional boundaries. Zero job training. Zero employee support. Everyone is set up for failure.
- Toxic HR that will bully you into accepting your lot, (rumored to) ignore sexual harassment claims, refuse to put anything in writing, and gas light away your complaints, all with a big smile.
- Employees are talked down to and ignored to the point of ruining their self confidence, trapping them in a horrible situation that they think they can't ever get out of. Many don't. It's really sad. Just quit - there's millions of other jobs and I promise you're worth more than how they make you feel.
