Pros
I had a great direct supervisor.
Cons
Even though I really enjoyed working with my direct supervisor, my experience at DOROT suffered due to the upper level executives. For example, I had a few run ins with the CFO. She was incredibly unkind and cold. I witnessed the way she spoke to people on her team and it was unacceptable. Once I heard her yelling through her door at an employee while others were around to hear. Every time I encountered her, she was incredibly miserable and unnecessarily unkind. Behavior and actions like these are not considered best practices. The executive director actually seems like an overall great addition to DOROT, so I think he needs to evaluate the actions of the CFO and upper level management as there are MANY examples similar to the one I expressed above. Also, the turnover at DOROT is like nothing I’ve ever seen for a small company. The reason for such high turnover isn’t the work, it’s the way employees are being treated by upper level management and the ones who are leading the entire team.
