LGBT Network Reviews

Do not choose to work here. The worst management team and structure I've ever had the misfortune to be part of. The LGBT Network's culture is one of fear. If you dare to speak out with an idea that goes against the status quo then you are fired, pronto. Or worse, you'll be forced to resign with increasingly hostile working conditions. If you your face does not fit, then you are out, pronto. Yes – this is the worst company I have worked for. Yes – the CEO bullies and oppress many. Yes – it is revolving door. Many are looking, already left or were let go. Yes – we have been asked, many times, to put positive feedback in Glassdoor. No - I am not leaving positive BS here, as this is not my personal opinion that things are or close to be OK at the LGBT Network. Yes – the location is OK, actually it was good about 10 years ago.. Yes – problems are swept under the carpet. No – cooperation and Yes to hidden agenda or inept management layers designed intentionally by the CEO. Yes – bigoted politics and VENOMOUS corporate structure for quite small organization. Yes – I am likely to be pursued for this honest review… YES- Your work will be micromanaged and your grant reporting will be cooked as instructed by the CEO under threat of termination.

To start - this organization desperately needs a new CEO and COO - having the two highest paid positions in an organization married... this is a huge conflict. Both the CEO and COO are self-serving, disrespectful, spiteful, and unethical to degrees that I can not even begin to process. I have seen deplorable acts of hate (to all people- LGBT, straight, allies, overweight, mentally handicapped, women, etc.), misconduct, and discrimination in my time at the agency. Their need to micromanage staffs PERSONAL life was one of the most ridiculous things I have ever experienced in my many years as a professional. The HR department is a joke, everything runs directly through the CEO, no one felt safe ever addressing a concern with a supervisor or HR because of fear it would get back to the CEO and could threaten your employment. If you were not part of the "chosen" staff you were treated like second class citizens. Extremely high demand on time, comp time was only given to selected staff members, while others worked the same amount of extra hours with no compensation. Fundraising monies were mismanaged and did not go to the areas that donors were told. CEO is media hungry - but does not follow through on projects. Several HUGE Press Conferences have been held to announce HUGE community projects and nothing has been done since - all show and no action, desperate to get more donations - but where are they going? Padding their own personal pockets one would assume, with several vacations a year, new cars, and salary increases.
