Toxic work environment - Anonymous employee American Humane Employee Review

I applied for an opening and from the moment I received the first email from the recruiter, all the way through the interviews, follow-up conversations, and offer, to the welcome and onboarding process, my experience has been so positive and inspiring. I am thrilled to join this organization and the team. They have a big vision for truly making a difference for animals everywhere, along with talented and dedicated people.

I don't see any cons.

Talented and dedciated individuals within its programs. However, there is minimal tangible impact on actual animal support, and coworker relationships often stem from shared experiences of adversity and trauma,

Working at American Humane has damaged the lives and minds of so many amazing, dedicated individuals. This environment not only demoralizes but also damages the mental health of the staff. Employees face constant manipulation, abuse, and extreme pressure that pushes them to their limits. Despite many joining with the intention to advocate for animal welfare, the true mission is overshadowed by the CEO's fragile ego-centric agenda and her obsession with appearing to be a "celebrity," detracting from the organization's core objectives and the well-being of its team. I generally do not write reviews, but if this saves even one person from experiencing the trauma of working at American Humane, then it is absoutely worthwhile.
