Pros

Kingsport RC was a really nice place loved the director who had just been hired and hired me. As soon as she left it felt very uncomfortable it lacked diversity I was the only black american hired. There were no other black co workers for the two years I was there. Although I had a MBA never offered a position but secretly would hire white students employees lots of private meetings. Some volunteer workers travel were paid where I had to cover all of my expenses for travel.

Cons

Lack of Diversity and biased hiring.
