Lack of communication within programs

Poor and questionable leadership decisions are frequent and often made without input from those affected. Leadership values obedience over collaboration. Speaking up is treated as defiance; you’re expected to agree, not think. Feedback sessions often feel like interrogations rather than opportunities for improvement. Support is inconsistent, burnout is common, and high turnover reflects the toxic, stressful culture. Promotions favor loyalty over performance. BIPOC employees face barriers to advancement unless they are already part of leadership. The organization prioritizes image over mission. Constant emotional strain stems from poor management and a lack of trust. Leadership communication is often unclear, unhelpful, and rarely honest. If you value integrity, fair leadership, or professional growth, this place will drain you. The work itself can be meaningful, but leadership makes it difficult to stay.
