Black women don't matter here

Recommend

Pros

Kind and caring coworkers from Directors on down. Admirable vision if they ever follow through.

Cons

COO and President reorganize every year, but no changes ever happen on the leadership level. There is a new CEO as of August 2023. Since 2016 there have been 3 CEOs. This org has and continues to be an unsafe place for black women, as the COO pretends to care for black women, but always ostracizes and blames them for everything. The last reorg fired two thirds of the black women at the org - the same women who spoke out a few months earlier at a company retreat. Then they hired a black women to lead DEI efforts. Interesting timing. There is ZERO upward mobility unless you are white. This is a very conservative organization that likes to use liberal catch phrases and buzzwords to gain funding, but they never actually make any impact in the communities they say they are serving. Unless you like feeling like you are in the sunken place all the time, do not work here if you are a member of a marginalized group. They plan based on hypothetical grants they "may" receive, and when they don't they cut jobs and "revisit salary scales". They have not given out bonuses since COVID and they have cut back on all of their employee incentives, nor are they supportive if you say you are getting an advanced degree.

Pros

This is a great organization if you need to add some experience to your resume; don’t plan on staying long.

Cons

Leadership is old school, passing blame down the food chain. Plan to keep paying for the premium subscription to LinkedIn and keep your profile up to date while you are employed. The only people who stay for more than a few years at this organization have been there for a long time and make a lot of money; all other employees are new or job searching. Dr. Harris is stepping down which perpetuates the toxic culture.

Pros

Good compensation and great people to work with!

Cons

I can't think of any cons if you want to work from home, love to teach, and prefer part time employment.
