Abysmal place to work - Avis employé Employé (anonyme) GDST

I would avoid working at the GDST at all costs. There is an incredibly unpleasant working environment in the Trust Office, with mistrust, bullying and a culture of fear. Senior leadership will speak outwardly about making girls “fearless” and that “nothing will hold a girl back” and then they will openly express racist, sexist and generally outdated attitudes and opinions. You are discouraged from having an opinion and those that do are alienated and picked on by senior management. Feminism in any form is dismissed as “man-hating”. The chasm between the external impression the GDST wants to portray and what is happening in the schools and trust office is vast. If you choose to work here, at the very best, your life will be frustrating and unfulfilling. At worse, you will (like many of the other people who work there) by signed off for stress, have a nervous breakdown or be bullied out by management. Horrible, nasty place to work. Avoid!
