Pros
Opportunity to make a meaningful impact despite limited resources • Supportive coworkers who worked hard to keep things running smoothly • Clients were rewarding to serve, and the work itself was fulfilling when leadership allowed you to do your job
Cons
Leadership culture built on control, gaslighting, and disregard for employee concerns • Instances of aggressive and demeaning communication from management, creating a hostile and unsafe work environment • HR and upper management failed to properly investigate reported issues, often siding with new leaders over long-standing employees • Broken promises around growth and development—promotions and recognition were inconsistent and not performance-based • Outdated, unhealthy, and unsafe physical workspace with no urgency to improve conditions
