There is an excessively toxic atmosphere in the Custom Research area partly because the Vice-president is very profits-oriented and dehumanizes junior level employees with an impressive lack of support and empathy. If you are a member of a protected class, you will be not only harassed but targeted and ultimately framed for poor performance and fired. Unfortunately, these behaviors are indirectly accepted and protected. The Vice-president and directors are well-connected, know one another outside of the company, and will not hesitate to show you the door if you stand up for yourself and/or report their illegal behaviors and hostilities to HR.
