Kontras
-The workplace culture often felt toxic, so much drama, every. single. day. that made day to day work challenging.
-Departments operated in silos, with limited collaboration or communication across teams. When attempting to offer suggestions or contribute ideas, feedback was often dismissed, and I was encouraged to “stay in my lane,” particularly by more senior colleagues.
-Limited opportunities for career growth, and the role did not align with how it was originally described during the hiring process.
-High employee turnover, which appeared to be largely driven by cultural issues.
-While I expected a nonprofit environment to feel meaningful and fulfilling, this was one of the most discouraging professional experiences I’ve had.
