Toxic management culture with no consequences

Pros

The vast majority of people working at the company are wonderful and are working very hard for towards the mission of sustainability.

Cons

Some people in upper management are toxic, and the CEO is isolated from how lower positions are managed by these people. The CEO is also conflict averse and ignores personality problems to the point that employees leave the company because nothing is done to address the toxic environment. Only the upper management opinions are listened to, meaning that even though many people have complained to HR about the toxic work environment, nothing is done to correct the bad behavior. I have witnessed other employees and was subject to being yelled at and devalued frequently. Individual opinions are messaged to employees as being encouraged, but if the opinion is in contrast to the manager's opinion, you are deemed to be a negative employee that is a problem and can't be managed. In addition to toxic management, there is a HUGE difference in salaries between the different departments which creates animosity between the teams. Community Programs employees make less than half of what the Energy Efficiency Programs employees make, and work just as hard.

Pros

Good benefits, work from home allowed

Cons

Toxic co-workers that would yell at and insult others. When reported to management/HR, no action was taken. Outdated, inefficient processes. Would not take suggestions for improvements.

Pros

Excellent leadership -- they are transparent, open, and discuss concrete strategy at monthly all-staff meetings. They also take the time to ensure that day-to-day culture is supportive for all as well as emphasizing being kind and considerate to each other. I have yet to have an interaction with anyone in the company who is mean, rude or disrespectful. Work-life balance is truly balanced. Hard work is recognized and rewarded throughout the year. Office building is LEED-certified and environmental friendliness is promoted through subsidies, tax deductions and monthly prizes for sustainable commuting (biking, walking, electric cars). The workplace attracts people who are active and fun, and who want to incorporate effecting positive change in their daily work. Low employee turnover. Great downtown location. Fun employee parties twice a year, and smaller team-building activities quarterly. Colleagues are super fun and organize activities and get-togethers outside of work hours.

Cons

Honestly, none. Love working here!
