College Board reviews

Supervisor gave no training and no expectations as to the requirements of the job (position was new at the time), and was even upset when I volunteered to do some market research on a weekend because she "didn't know". Often felt more as a "diversity" candidate, and was quite often sent on trips outside of the office, while the rest of the largely white team stayed in New York Was often sent to travel (alone) and was one of very few BIPOC on the team. At a table read of an exam, I was told by a colleague that "of course you [I] would understand the question about race and its implications". When I brought this up to my supervisor, nothing was done about the statement, and she said "sometimes you just feel uncomfortable here". Everything is so compartmentalized that it is hard to know what is up and what is down. People are also a little competitive as they want to make sure they don't get laid off, which complicates the collaboration that is necessary for this. There was no reason for me to be working on agreements that the rest of my team didn't know about until after everything was signed and dotted.

There are more cons than pros. First, the management- the true leadership of the organization lacks diversity. Next, although the HR team does their best, it seems "certain" positions are only for friends of the current leadership. Finally, the politics required to be promoted are frustrating.
