Toxic work environment with high turnover

Pros

The company's mission is a thoughtful one.

Cons

I worked here for over a year, and can safely say this is a very toxic work environment with high turnover because of poor management. One of the main managers here is a micro-managing perfectionist who treats female employees like incompetent children. The executive directors of this company are money-hungry opportunists who often express sexist, racist, and homophobic beliefs to their staff on a weekly basis. They use their employee's marginalized identities as tokens, an opportunity for them to apply for more grant money and hold them up as examples of their inclusivity while simultaneously treating them like garbage. Don’t be fooled by their nice ‘we’re family here’ facade, they will attempt to torpedo your career and future job prospects if you get on their bad side.

Pros

-Days off -Access to Canadian films and some cultural events -Nice and hardworking coworkers

Cons

The pay between the management and the rest of the team is extremely unequal. Although it has been a recurring problem, the AD, ED, Managers, and the Board do not seem to care that the salary they provide is not only unfair and insufficient but also deeply exploitative. They pretend to be a plural organization, but only hire people from different backgrounds to get more funds.
