Hostile work environment!

Business Outlook

Pros

401K Benefits Pay/ok Paid Time off/So-so Tuition Reimbursement

Cons

Hostile work environment for women! Employees bullying other employees and consistently getting away with it. Management just turns their heads to MANY known HR issues so they don’t have to deal with it. Lots of favoritism.

W. R. Grace & Co. Response

6y

From the bottom up—with women in roles from intern to two of our three business segment presidents; with three of our nine independent Directors being women; and our female Chief Human Resources Officer, Grace is committed in policy and practice to a positive work environment for women. Bullying is strictly prohibited by policy and anti-bullying training is mandatory. There are multiple channels of recourse for any individual who feels they are treated inappropriately and we remind employees of these channels on a regular basis.
