Western Resource Reviews

The leadership is remarkably close to industry, and frequently does industry's bidding. The leadership lives high off the hog, and this place provides them with lifestyle jobs financed by donors. If you're not in the leadership, you're just a worker bee with little direction and little chance for advancement. Also, no lifestyle benefits. And you'd better keep your mouth shut. There is no room for you to voice any opinion. Independent thought and judgement are seen as subversive. Also, lily white and bourgeois.

WRA hires professional staff that are the subject matter experts in their respective policy spaces. But, management routinely ignores the recommendations of professional staff, even when staff are unanimous in their recommendations. They also have long-stand equity issues including disparate treatment of women and very few people of color even represented in the organization. Retaliation, censorship, and behind closed doors deals with polluting companies are routine.
