Garrison Institute Reviews

HR is genuinely ineffective and it takes years for anyone to be spoken to, much less. disciplined for any reason. The Institute has a track record of making poor hiring decisions, specifically at the director-level, as they seem to look down on local candidates in favor of "city" execs. This is to the detriment of the institution and the local staff. The board is distant and (for the most part) disinterested, and the founders treat the center as their own personal playground. Poor communication, operations in deficit, and a general avoidance of honest conversations among staff. The benefits are average, health care goes up every year without fail, and the compensation is good for the area, but don't expect to get a raise or a bonus that makes the Institute a career. This place is not worth your time, no matter what kind of spiritual, do-gooder, 'we care' narrative is put forth. It's not actually put into practice.

Highly inactive Board. Very high turnover in Development Department. Hired & Resigned with Development Department being known as "cursed".
