      Performative organization; stay away if you have integrity - Project Coordinator ETR Employee Review

      Pros

      Staff on our team are the most talented, dedicated, passionate, hardworking, and equity-focused people I have ever worked with. They are all leaving to work at organizations that don't gaslight them when they call for transparency and inclusion.

      Cons

      The leadership team isn't interested in equitable practices or anti-racism, they just like to say they are. They sweep gross misconduct from leadership under the rug until the only people left are those benefiting from the lack of accountability or integrity. It's odd that they recruit new staff who are passionate about social justice and dismantling systems of oppression and when those staff call out injustice, they are maligned and left with no choice but to shut up or leave. There is little to no support for staff who produce work that actually fulfills our mission, not to mention, maintains our funding. I've seen time and time again women, especially women of color, propping up incompetent men who make more money than they do. Staff are dropping like flies, not because of the pandemic (which is the excuse our CEO has provided) but because they learned ETR isn't the place we all were made to believe it was.

      ETR Response

      We are sincerely saddened and disappointed that you are experiencing ETR’s commitment to diversity and inclusion as performative. We have, and continue to invest, in transforming historical policies and practices that have systematically excluded those with the least power. We are an organization in intense transformation over the past three years (nearly doubling in both staff size and revenue), and also doubling down on living our values of diversity and inclusion. We recognize that the work has meant that changing old practices while simultaneously inviting newer and more inclusive practices is emotionally draining and intense, particularly for anyone who joins in the midst of this transformation. We also recognize that while we have intentionally recruited new team members to speak up and speak out, the pace of change can be frustrating. But we believe it is the necessary work to be the best organization we can be. We will work to do better on transparency about our transformation and change.

      Pros

      ETR has been doing serious reflecting and implementing intentional changes and restructuring over the past couple of years to not only promote equity in our work but also across the company. I feel that leadership are genuinely interested in what staff have to say about how to improve equity, work-life balance, and overall wellbeing at ETR. They've also been responsive to feedback, including improving already wonderful and comprehensive benefits, supporting novel diverse strategic planning, and providing various and interesting ways to engage with colleagues outside of project work (a must when working remotely!). At ETR, I feel that I matter as a person, not just an employee, and I am encouraged to and supported in showing up as my whole self.

      Cons

      I don't have personal experience with this but have heard from colleagues that the promotion process can be a bit time consuming and some pathways are less clear than others.

      Pros

      Great location, good people in general

      Cons

      Some departments are terribly run, lots of micromanagement. It really depends which area you work in.
