No internships because of COVID

-You can travel to interesting places. -You meet some really wonderful activists from around the country and the world. -Lots of "lower" staff members are friendly and fun to be around. -A good chance to understand and engage with the issues surrounding the work and mission.

-The leadership in this place (especially on the Programs side) is like the movie Mean Girls. It's all about preferential treatment, favoritism, and closed-door conversations and decisions. Lots of bullying. No HR dept. to speak of. -Very clear (but unspoken) racism from upper management, as well as lack of respect for younger employees. -People get hired and fired in the place out of the blue and it's demoralizing to the staff. -Lack of equity in terms of benefits. Some people could work from home when they liked, and others did not have this flexibility (even those who need it more). -Too much time planning, too little time implementing. -Senior management disregards deadlines often and demand your flexibility. However, they have the "right" to do whatever they want. They can be 3 hours late to a meeting or reschedule it a fifth time. Your time is not important to them.
