don't apply - Anonymous employee ACTRA Employee Review

Fun work environment, nice people, everyone extremely helpful.

Some employees did not care about their job at all.

They are good at touting lofty principles

My experience working with ACTRA was deeply disappointing. The environment was plagued by unprofessional behavior, including instances of harassment and shouting, which created a toxic and demoralizing atmosphere. Meetings were excessive, unproductive, and often felt like a substitute for real action or meaningful collaboration. Financial management was among the worst I’ve witnessed—disorganized, shortsighted, and ultimately harmful to the organization’s goals. Poorly thought-out decisions were the norm rather than the exception, leading to unnecessary complications and inefficiencies. Leadership, particularly Mary Kelly, failed to inspire confidence. Her approach often came across as condescending and ineffective, serving more as a figurehead than a constructive leader. Communication was lacking, and when it did occur, it was frequently dismissive or disrespectful.
