SREB Reviews

Very hirearchial. Division directors have all the power, micromanage and are permitted to act like children/chastise their teams; especially those in the school improvement section. No advancement opportunities. Little diversity. Heavy paper-based office. Only growth opportunities are for directors and favorites. Super passive-aggressive supervisors think they are smarter than everyone else. Depressed team. Sad and sorry place where people are drones.

You will be treated as less than a human person. The level of micromanagement defies belief. Manager literally would stand behind me and "order" me to use their preferred keyboard shortcuts in Excel. You need permission to leave the office for any reason. Staff not allowed to leave when snowstorm was starting. Staff not allowed to work from home when there was no electricity or Internet in the office. (Staff never allowed to work from home, period.) Manager had to read and approve my emails before they were sent out. All that matters is how long you sit at your desk in the office all day, not what you actually do. Racism, homophobia, and misogyny are rampant. Old age is valued over knowledge and experience. Once you are hired in one position, you will work in that one position forever--no one is ever promoted from within. It's like working in the 1960s. HR practices are extremely outdated. The organization itself is no longer relevant because there are national orgs are doing a better job.
