The culture here is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. Management shows the same level of compassion and consideration to employees that all of us were expected to show the kids we worked with. It’s the thing I miss the most about working here.
Cons
Constantly having to write reports. I hated writing reports.
Management is fantastic. The women in leadership positions within the company are incredible people inside and out and I can’t even describe how wonderful it is to be able to work for a company where the people in charge look like me. Representation is powerful and important and not just on the macro level. Even within our jobs and personal relationships, it matters more than a lot of people want to admit.
Cons
It’s very obvious that there are some employees who have issues working under women. I try not to wish ill on anyone, but I also hope they won’t be with the company for very long. I feel like the energy they bring into the office is detrimental to our productivity and our mission.
