Pros

Healthcare. That is literally about it.

Cons

Working here means navigating an incredibly toxic environment where executive and senior leadership talk down to adult employees like children, gossip about staff behind their backs, and actively foster a culture of gaslighting. There is zero clear direction for the work they want completed, yet management will aggressively blame you and treat you like the problem the moment their own lack of planning causes a project to stall. Promotions are entirely unfair and arbitrary. Even worse, this is a deeply unsafe environment for marginalized individuals; racist and sexist remarks from senior leadership are swept under the rug with no consequences, valid ADA accommodation submissions are ignored, and management routinely pits marginalized employees against each other. The toxicity isn’t just internal, either; leadership regularly talks trash about the very clients, partners, and communities they serve. For a company whose entire branding is built on engagement, trust, and community, the hypocrisy is staggering. They do a terrible job of building trust internally and show utter contempt for their partners externally.

Pros

Great snacks, free lunch sometimes, relaxed dress code

Cons

Wow, where do I start? Low morale, high turnover, intentionally slow promotion process but they're quick to give you someone else's work when they inevitably quit, you’re practically forced to tell the president/your manager if you’re thinking about leaving, directors and managers that have zero idea what they’re doing and will blame you when they get something wrong, clients who basically want you to kiss up to them and management who will punish you for standing up for yourself, this is a company of less than 40 with at least 5-10 people looking for new jobs at a time, racist leadership, micro aggressions through the roof, verbally abusive president who also gossips about everyone, inappropriate behavior and race “jokes” from directors to senior managers to the president that’s constantly swept under rug by HR, ironically poor communication, driving to the office just to take virtual meetings, and to top it off: the president will lie and say these reviews were left by someone who didn’t work there for long. People quit without having anything else lined up. I'd say that I hated working there, but that'd be an understatement.
