Pros
Most members are wonderful Most of the employees are, at heart, nice people. The core values of the institution are sound
Cons
Not following the core values of the institution, which is extremely troubling. Toxic. Hostile work environment. One of the most toxic experiences of my life. Verbal abuse, exclusionary practices, bullying. When complaints are raised there are months of inaction, no discussion on how to address the toxic environment, and the bullying continues. Perpetual understaffing from turnover, primarily due to severe underpayment relative to the market, bullying psychologically unsafe environments, and a lack of opportunities for advancement, development or exploration for many employees. Rampant bullying, gaslighting, favoritism, manipulation, and discrimination. Ask a question and get a hostile non-response. Provide a suggestion and be criticized for having the gall to think you might be able to contribute. Extraordinary pay discrepancies and disparities. Many employees are not being given the opportunities to advance their careers, and when asked why they can't get promotions, the answer are non-answers, deflections and abuse.
