Vindictive Leadership - Anonymous employee Ascend Dallas Employee Review

Great place to work. The culture of the organization is inclusive and caring. The team is hardworking and collaborative. There is opportunity to learn and grow. The leadership team invests in the employees through training and growth opportunities. I've been able to stretch and grow and appreciate my boss' support. There used to be a lot of toxic people here, but fortunately over the past year or so they were held accountable for their behaviors and have left. It's much better now.

working for a nonprofit is hard. The agency is doing fine, but like any nonprofit, I wish there were more resources to do some bigger ticket, big dream ideas.

Mission is a win, and peers were hard working.

Absolutely toxic executive suite. They isolate you from your peers due to unwarranted trust issues, participate in petty and cruel gossip (I.e., a black employee’s hair, an employee’s mental illnesses or cognitive disabilities, an employee’s body, on and on and on) about the main workforce of the company, prohibit employee contact with the board of directors (seems to be a way to stop complaints from being heard), could go on. It’s a high school mentality in there.
