Cold work environment & some racial microaggressions - Anonymous employee Robert R McCormick Foundation Employee Review

Loved the staff, beautiful facility. Overall a great place to work.

There was not much to improve upon!

Nice office space. Occasionally, lunch and leftover food from meetings provided in kitchen. One of the staff even makes breakfast from time to time.

The Raiser's Edge Assistant position is a high skill position which is normally filled with seasoned contractors. Unfortunately, McCormick does not provide these workers with a living wage. (In 2017, the hourly rate increased to $10.50 when minimum wage increased from $10.) The Development Director (who signs off on these contracts) is problematic on many levels. He has created a very uncomfortable situation where staff who suck up to him are favored and others are walking on eggshells hoping not to cross him. Assertive women are a particular threat to him and he will make their lives difficult until they leave or will fire them without cause.
