Pros

Opportunities to be involved in inspiring work.

Toxic work environment - staff can’t trust management to look out for their best interests, benefits, or well being. Lack of diversity in middle management — many bosses will be white women.

Pros

Some of the people there were great to work with. Decent benefits. Being apart of history

Cons

The place was very toxic. If leadership does not like you, they would find something to get you terminated because god forbid if HR gave a damn about their jobs and do some investigating and get the truth. Leadership can do and say whatever they want without any repercussions. POC (mostly black women) at the organization are being forced out with the help of leadership and HR. The organization could be a wonderful place to work for if leadership would stand by the core values that the Obama’s stood for. They want analysts and associates to do all the work and they take the credit for it. Respect, integrity and loyalty is not something leadership follows only if you’re white or come from an elite family.
