Pros
Who doesn’t love an org fighting for marginalized folks?
Cons
After two 15-hour weeks, I received a threatening email from both the founder and his partner/director for mistakenly spending 20 minutes on work “outside of my lane” (offering feedback on anything outside of your job description is apparently strictly prohibited). During meetings, they've instilled a culture of fear and have discouraged collaboration. I was accused of upholding White supremacist values for offering copyedits on their website. I myself am a trans person of color. They were "too busy" to provide any support or guidance the week of my onboarding. They seem to embrace a toxic martyrdom, which they expect from employees, who they pay extremely low wages. They have spent hours in meetings complaining about poor performance without demonstrating actual leadership--it's like they want their employees to do the hard work for them, and I've gotten this impression after just two weeks. I really had hope for this organization, and I'm super disheartened when I think of the people who contribute to this horribly managed, toxic organization.
