Unaddressed toxic managment behavior

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay and benefits. Coworkers are nice and helpful. Senior leadership ideals for company culture is great. When it's good, it's good.

Cons

Management quality varies by team. Experianced textbook toxic, aggressive workplace behaviors and gaslighting from my department's senior management. Spoke up to department leadership and felt minimized and overall uncomfortable with their response. Also, management demographics not diverse and titles matter.
