NRDC Reviews

Leadership - many of whom are relatively new to the organization - don't seem to have control over the cultural and financial issues the org is facing right now. There hasn't been time allowed to build trust with new leadership, and the few touchpoints have fostered an air of skepticism. The culture, once strong, has faltered post covid. I really feel bad for new staff who didn't get to experience the exuberance of the office culture of yesteryear. I don't think mandatory time back in the office will do any good (would likely just build resentment), but something needs to change. Morale is at an all time low, at least in the last six years I've been here.

- Talks a great game about DEI, does nothing about promoting BIPOC staff. - No upward mobility for PAs. PAs of color have many more people to support than white PAs. Nearly all PAs are female and treated like the help, unless they are related to some senior staff or donor. - Internships go to children of donors first and then trickle down to one or two qualified candidates - Program heads are nearly all white and from the same network of friends and family. Only the president role has a diverse candidate but no president lasts because upper management is toxic and working to actively disempower him/her. - Many in HR just want to stay in favor of upper management and brush gross violations under the rug which leads to ex-employee lawsuits. - Like others said in the reviews, drives out people of color in droves. Can't keep a single black attorney because of the toxic culture.
