Pros
- The agency promotes professional education opportunities. - Opportunities to collaborate with people from diverse industries. - Opportunities for development, and experimentation within the field of education. …all for the cost of your sanity.
Cons
- While student programming and the external image create a facade of following DEI principles, the internal work environment is quite the opposite. The distribution of workload, power, and pay are wildly skewed. Feedback feels like it goes into the void leaving staff often feeling powerless. -Executive Leadership is very green, struggles to accept feedback, seems checked out and tone deaf creating situations where employees feel torn down. All this made me feel I was in a toxic environment. - It was extremely difficult to ever feel safe speaking up in fear of retaliation. - Continuously assigns work outside of job descriptions without acknowledgement for professional advancement, pay or job titles.
