AFT reviews

I was not challenged enougf

Unfortunately your experience will depend significantly on your team, and because the overall culture seems to be deteriorating, it is likely you will have a bad experience. There are some very productive and incredibly respectful teams, however that is not the experience for all staff, and those teams still struggle to operate under dysfunctional executive leadership. My experience was of an elitist, discriminatory, exploitative workplace. Executive leadership with exorbitant salaries that are on full display in the grant application process, set an oppressive tone and cannot seem to find the funds to get genuine leadership training. Staff who advertise donor connections are protected at all costs. Staff, farmers, and partners who don't advertise connections are "accidentally targeted", and staff and farmers without connections are highly vulnerable in certain teams. I witnessed a large amount of nepotism in hiring, which leads to staff in some teams being very unequipped. There is a huge mismatch between the values of the farmers we serve and the values of leadership.
