Pros
- I have met some great friends here. - Pets in the workplace is really nice. Dog park out back. - Time off and flex schedule are amazing. You may never find another company with such a flexible work schedule.
Kontras
HSUS does not care about staff. They do not value staff and find it easier to replace someone than promote or give raises. HR is horrible to work with, inflexible, and insensitive. I have seen multiple staffers cry from frustration after meeting with HR. They are openly rude and do not care about giving fair or competitive salaries. They will also lie to your face and tell something completely different to the next person. Leadership knows how to play both sides and are two-faced. They know what to say to make the board/execs happy while calming the lower level staff. Boys club exists despite the staff being largely female. They don't listen to suggestions from staff. Staff often have fights with each other. People have complained that omnis are insensitive to vegans and vegans mean to omnis (although I never experienced this). Many of the people in my department were catty and fighting over promotions and rumors. The recent sexual harassment scandals have really divided staff. It can feel like being back at high school at times. No growth opportunity. Getting more responsibilities is easy and happens often. You are rarely compensated for them. It is like pulling teeth to get a fair raise or promotion. Even if you have good annual reviews and support of supervisors. The main office is inaccessible via metro. There is also a bug and mouse problem.
