Toxic leadership undermines great colleagues and benefits - Anonymous Employee- Former Employee Obama Foundation Employee Review

Pretty chill tbh not vad

Not really anything to think of

You have the opportunity to contribute and be part of the inaugural opening of a new cultural institution. There is a lot of "behind the scene" effort that you get to witness and aid in implementation. It is inspirational to be with the communities that are excited to see the completed campus. There are some nice and outgoing folks that work there.

This organization has a very toxic workplace environment, and the leadership (including managers, directors, VP's, etc.) is very disorganized. They preach about morals and values but do not practice any of them in the org. Colleagues that have been there for more than 5 years have been jaded by the constant restructuring and do not earnestly work cooperatively with each other without scour. It is a very negative workplace and very hierarchal. If you do not hold a senior title, then you are not respected. There is a lot of gatekeeping, gaslighting, dismissive behavior, and there are too many managers that gossip. This was one of the worst job experiences that I have ever had, and am very disappointed in how this organization is lead. The Executive Leadership team is very indecisive and there are constant back-and-forth changes that affects everyone, but they care very little about the upset. There is also a huge divide between senior staff and junior staff because this organization unfortunately operates by high school politics and perceived popularity. You also have to watch out for working with a lot of egos and passive aggressive behavior. Leadership will make you over-work, and then have little appreciation for successful outcomes.
