LGBT Network Reviews

To start - this organization desperately needs a new CEO and COO - having the two highest paid positions in an organization married... this is a huge conflict. Both the CEO and COO are self-serving, disrespectful, spiteful, and unethical to degrees that I can not even begin to process. I have seen deplorable acts of hate (to all people- LGBT, straight, allies, overweight, mentally handicapped, women, etc.), misconduct, and discrimination in my time at the agency. Their need to micromanage staffs PERSONAL life was one of the most ridiculous things I have ever experienced in my many years as a professional. The HR department is a joke, everything runs directly through the CEO, no one felt safe ever addressing a concern with a supervisor or HR because of fear it would get back to the CEO and could threaten your employment. If you were not part of the "chosen" staff you were treated like second class citizens. Extremely high demand on time, comp time was only given to selected staff members, while others worked the same amount of extra hours with no compensation. Fundraising monies were mismanaged and did not go to the areas that donors were told. CEO is media hungry - but does not follow through on projects. Several HUGE Press Conferences have been held to announce HUGE community projects and nothing has been done since - all show and no action, desperate to get more donations - but where are they going? Padding their own personal pockets one would assume, with several vacations a year, new cars, and salary increases.

Do not pay attention to the solitary 5 star review here. That was probably posted by a current employee under the threat of losing their job because the CEO is a bully and a crook who only cares about himself and his COO husband. The rest of the reviews are the most accurate. The work environment is horrible and if you don't fit the status quo you are ridiculed until you no longer want to work there. Employees are overworked and underpaid because management is too busy lining their own pockets. There is NO transparency in regards to funding which is extremely fishy for a non-profit to do. Money hungry management is only interested in raising money for themselves. They destroyed a 24 year tradition of Pride in Huntington by moving the festivities to Long Beach. In general, there are so many better LGBT organizations on Long Island and in NYC that BETTER serve the community because they CARE about the community and not about making money.
