Toxic environment

Pros

great mission that keeps you going

Cons

Toxic leadership. There are very few leadership positions, so those in director level roles wants to hold on to their role, no one wants to empower those under them or give them credit for the work they do. The way they do performance reviews is so demoralizing. Everyone I know has left that organization because of how toxic it was.
