Project Place Reviews

Project Place is quite possibly the most toxic environment that I have ever been in. If you want to work in an environment where you feel heard and seen, PLEASE go somewhere else... Everyone essentially gets paid well below what they're worth and admin has no concrete plans to boost pay. For three decades the ED was emotionally abusive to her employees, which included yelling at people, calling them names, and minimizing, ignoring, and contributing to various forms of harassment. Over the summer the staff tried to band together to challenge the ED and Board for abusing their power. They did so by writing a series of open letters - to which - the ED harassed them and threatened them in response. This is a very predatory work environment. It wasn't until I left did I realize how messed up this place is. Staff is not inclusive or diverse in terms of race, sexual orientation, or gender. There are only like 30 employees at PP. Yet there are like 5 "directors," regardless of their experience or qualifications. It's a running joke in the office. They're a dime a dozen. PLEASE - IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN PRESERVING YOUR MENTAL HEALTH - THINK TWICE BEFORE WORKING AT PP. *Caveat: After a lot of pushback, the Board appointed a new ED. She seems very sweet and it's obvious that she wants to turn things around for the better. She has a lot on her plate but I am absolutely certain that in the next two years or so, PP will be a better place. But for now, nooooo.
