I second reviews that've stated management is unprofessional, manipulative, etc. The management of this agency by far has the worst attitudes and passive aggressiveness I’ve ever had the displeasure of working with. I worked under a manager who would give convoluted feedback & instructions and expected me to properly execute. When the result didn’t meet her constantly evolving expectations, she became extremely passive aggressive, condescending, and would deep sigh — not only uncomfortable but demotivating. This management style can be mistaken for tough love, but as time went on, this registered as a means of taking out stress and anger on a subordinate with a hint of power tripping. She also didn’t think twice about angrily calling me out in front of everyone, which let me know that there are little to no repercussions for the mistreatment of employees.
Previous (now deleted) reviews have brought attention to how boundaries aren’t respected, employees are treated like punching bags (I agree), and a situation where someone who holds a prominent position wasn’t held accountable for statements that didn’t align with the agency’s DEI commitments. Instead of addressing these concerns, they were cowardly removed. This reflects how things are brushed under the rug here, and the emphasis that’s placed on looking like a safe place instead of being one.
