I'll preface this by saying that on paper, this was my dream job.
In reality it was an absolute struggle to remain in this position for 6 months.
I ignored the negative comments on Galssdoor because this seemed like the job I'd been working toward. I also ignored the numerous red flags throughout the interview process.
I am trying my best to remain professional while writing this. That is difficult, because the president and vice president of this organization are condescending and unstable; they cultivate a cruel and nonsensical working environment on a daily basis.
You are never given direction. You will be a scapegoat frequently. You will be be demeaned, belittled, and criticized.
There is no strategic plan. There is no organization. There are no achievable outcomes. The board is ignorant and uninvolved. There are dubious work practices, bordering on the illegal.
If there's a published Earth Day event somewhere in the world, EDN claims it as their own. That's their justification for declaring 50,000 partners in nearly 195 countries. Did you know there's an organization that is "in-charge" of Earth Day? No one does, and there's a reason.
You will regret taking this job.
