Vantaggi
The mission and goals of the organization are very important and this work is badly needed. The doctors are phenomenal. I did great work there and gained fantastic career experience.
Svantaggi
While the doctors themselves are lovely, there is a lot of toxicity internally. The senior management has changed since I was there from 2016 through 2018 so hopefully things have improved dramatically. During my two years with the organization, there was preferential treatment for a small core group while everyone else was subject to the never-ending layoffs. There were new staff hired every few months while other staff were laid off every few months, constant fluctuation.
I was assigned a new supervisor who had no management experience in order for this person to be promoted to a very senior role and receive title change and large salary increase. I was conducting the evaluation for all the programs across the organization. I received more of the new supervisor's work while she traveled on extensive vacations. When I raised concerns about the situation and asked for support I was told I needed to operate independently. Why was the supervisor promoted if I was not to have any supervisory support? I was eventually let go because I questioned this arrangement. The HR rep worked part-time and was 27 years old. When I reached out to her as a last resort to try to see if we could make the situation work, she just helped my supervisor terminate me. Horrible no-win situation.
