Not Disclosed - Anonymous employee Physicians for Reproductive Health Employee Review

The mission and goals of the organization are very important and this work is badly needed. The doctors are phenomenal. I did great work there and gained fantastic career experience.

While the doctors themselves are lovely, there is a lot of toxicity internally. The senior management has changed since I was there from 2016 through 2018 so hopefully things have improved dramatically. During my two years with the organization, there was preferential treatment for a small core group while everyone else was subject to the never-ending layoffs. There were new staff hired every few months while other staff were laid off every few months, constant fluctuation. I was assigned a new supervisor who had no management experience in order for this person to be promoted to a very senior role and receive title change and large salary increase. I was conducting the evaluation for all the programs across the organization. I received more of the new supervisor's work while she traveled on extensive vacations. When I raised concerns about the situation and asked for support I was told I needed to operate independently. Why was the supervisor promoted if I was not to have any supervisory support? I was eventually let go because I questioned this arrangement. The HR rep worked part-time and was 27 years old. When I reached out to her as a last resort to try to see if we could make the situation work, she just helped my supervisor terminate me. Horrible no-win situation.

The doctors themselves are incredible and usually a pleasure to work with.

No management training leads to poor management practice. Little room for growth. No transparency about the direction of the organization. Heavily reliant on one funder. High turnover due to staff being treated poorly.
