Rainforest Alliance reviews

However, the organization is based on a hierarchy. Due to the limited employment, it is difficult for a employee to go up the management ladder. For positions such like coordinators it is hard for them to take full ownership of the good they do, mainly because the higher ups are often take all ownership.

-Has a very meeting-heavy work culture. -Many people, especially senior management, work from home, so there is little interaction with them during the workday, and little accountability for how their workdays are spent. -Senior management is often unsupportive and occasionally rude to junior staff who want to take initiative and present new ideas. -Complete disregard for systems and requirements around promotions. -For international staff, there is generally a very slow turnaround when working with the NYC team, as many are not cognizant/conscious of time differences for international colleagues. (i.e.: sending over important, time sensitive materials after hours or too late to use them.) It's a very "out of sight, out of mind" working mentality. -Staff outside of the NYC office are paid less and many don't receive a retirement fund/pension. -No accountability for senior staff in terms of how they spend money for work, and what the results of that spending are. -No checks and balances on how senior management spend their travel budget (i.e.: money is spent on hotels and international flights for many staff to attend the annual gala.)
