Failing greatly - Anonymous employee Mercy For Animals Employee Review

-good healthcare benefits -really liked my team, great people -mission driven and everyone genuinely believes in it

There are some things you notice once you join the organization as with anywhere but nothing glaringly stands out. Maybe fyi to those applying that it is a very EA oriented organization so all programs will be aligned with that funding stream.

Good benefits: team care days, sabbaticals (though poorly managed), ample PTO

This was the worst organization I’ve ever worked for, and I’ve worked for difficult people. They claim kindness and compassion are at their core values and yet staff are treated with zero respect or decency. I wish I could say it’s limited to leadership but it’s pervasive and several staff members are also incredibly disingenuous and unprofessional. There were several rounds of layoffs within a short period of time due to financial mismanagement, with zero accountability from those who caused it, and the layoffs every single time were handled as poorly as can be imagined. Several staff had to take short term disability for mental health purposes. It’s a cult organization with zero vision and if I were a donor I wouldn’t give them a dime because your money is going to waste. Donate to other animal organizations who actually make a difference.
