Be prepared for office politics - Anonymous employee Talbert House Employee Review

Talbert House often seems more concerned about its reputation than any clients, employees, or programs. Serious problems can be ignored or hushed up to avoid bad press. Getting new programs (and more money) is more important than running programs well. Executives micro-manage everything, and rules are applied differently to different programs and people. Supervisors and even directors are undermined and overruled by HR and executives every day. This leads to a culture where employees are rewarded for complaining to a VP until they get an exception. (Particularly when it comes to HR and finance.)
