Pros

Every payday, vacation, coffee break and weekend.

Cons

Smells like a toxic workplace. Will need a very good cleaner to scrub all the scum off the walls. If you are reading this and are an arrogant 50+ manager employed there then hand in your resignation, you have been irrelevant for at least the past decade. @HR: if you can't do your job and identify which of your leaders are rotting your institution then start handing in your resignation letters as well. Ask your employees to report in an anonymous way the managers that are difficult. Then do your job and discipline their behaviour. First give a warning, if it continues then show them the door.

EVERYTHING IS FINE!

Pros

Our employees are always getting to meet and work with variety of new colleagues. We produce top of the line research into organizational performance and leadership development. We fully take these practices to heart in our offices, thereby contributing to a harmonious work environment. In-person staff feedback is resoundingly positive.

Cons

Any negative sentiments towards our organization and its leadership team must be borne from a sense of entitlement by employees who deserve to, and probably already have had their “positions terminated”. No sweat though, our compassionate HR team are experts in quickly re-hiring the same positions every year to year-and-a-half. Those who have defied the odds and managed to keep their jobs have done so based purely on recognized merit and nothing else quantifiable. Anyone remotely critical of our employment and/or business practices clearly isn’t on board with our new direction that involves taking everything the previous administration did and intensifying it to a comical degree.

Pros

There are some great people who still work here. They are unfortunately getting to be few and far between now. The organization has a good reputation but sadly that is eroding too.

Cons

A cauldron of toxicity and incompetence with some islands of sanity that are rapidly disappearing. If you have ever read any of the Conference Board’s HR research, they do exactly the opposite of all the best practices they publish. Specifically: - Allowed a manager who mistreated female employees to continue working despite numerous complaints. - Their answer to allegations of racism was for employees to just avoid interacting with racist managers. - It took a whistleblower going public on APTN to force the organization to deal two highly toxic VPs. - They terminate people who have been off on stress leave and keep toxic managers in place. The turnover at the organization tells much of the story. If you’re a woman or a minority, avoid this place at all costs.
