Lack of Leadership Leads to Toxic Workplace Environment

Research scientist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Flexible work hours, majority of staff are wonderful, build your own portfolio

Cons

The lack of willingness for leadership to address foundational problems has led to a complete degradation of workplace culture. Leaders are chosen based on an ability to bring in money, not manage or develop staff. Several leaders display toxic, retaliatory behavior with no recourse. HR will not address issues of toxicity, bullying, retaliation.
