Pros

The core mission around education is sincere, and some of the program coordinators actually care.

Cons

Everything runs on "that's how we've always done it," and when you suggest something better, you get a list of reasons why it won't work before you finish talking. Ask for documentation improvements, streamlined processes, anything — and suddenly you're "not understanding the culture" or "not a team player," which really means don't ask questions. Leadership talks innovation in meetings but guards every actual decision like it's classified, so nothing changes and you end up solving the same problems every cycle. The longer people work there, the more they've just accepted it. New people either go quiet or burn out trying. There's this passive-aggressive undertone where everyone says yes and then does whatever they were planning anyway.

Pros

I left as soon as I realized how completely we were being lied to.

Cons

- Pay is extremely low and not reflective of the workload or expectations. - Leadership is ineffective and viewed as a joke by employees. - Employees are routinely required to work extra hours without additional pay. - Management repeatedly tells staff to be patient, but no meaningful change ever occurs even after long periods of time. - Employees feel openly disrespected due to constant dishonesty and broken promises. - Leadership lies directly to employees while showing complete disregard for their concerns.

Pros

Remote working has so many advantages. I didn't have to dress up for work and run to catch public transport daily. It was a relief.

Cons

The people in the leadership are arrogant, evil, and fake. They lie about trusting you but don't actually do that. They have a micromanaging attitude. They will ask you what you are doing every minute of every day. It's awfully demotivating. Anyone with self -respect who wants freedom at work must stay away!
