I am proud of the work I do at the ARF, however the senior management is abominable in their treatment of employees.

Pros

There is an opportunity to dig deep into the field and meet a host of smart, engaged industry experts. The ARF includes an intellectual aspect, which is stimulating and satisfying. There is a bond among the employees.

Cons

The senior management's motto is guilty until proven innocent, i.e., there is no trust in the ability of employees to spearhead projects and make them successful. Micro-management, mixed messages and arbitrary praise and criticism is par for the course. Thanks to the leaders of this organization, there is a culture of fear, which causes wide-spread anxiety. Confusion about roles and responsibilities and blame as a consequence permeates the environment.

Pros

Honarable scientific mission, dedicated staff and volunteers

Cons

Programming content is falling behind the curve in terms of modern (digital) advertising industry conditions and scientific study of same. Understand that the new regime is somewhat chaotic, in disarray. Staff is given conflicting missions and wires tend to get crossed.
