It just never lived up to what was stated in the interviews, which is my own fault for believing the hype. Boy do I wish I would have moved to Kentucky now. So here's how it went down...  I was hired two years ago, with the nice salary and the understanding this this place had a low turn over rate.  I also had specific job duties that matched my skillset perfectly.  The lady who hired me was very nice but needed help with writing, understanding data and launching a marketing plan.  Within three months of my hire this lady was fired, and fro mthat point on things were downhill.  I have since seen 4 bosses, 3 presidents of the company and countless different staff come and go.  Being a small-nonprofit, once the click that runs things doesn't like you they push someone out.  It's actually quite horrible as Ive seen it happen 4 times this year alone.  The Single person in human resources knows the marketing coordinator is racist, but despite consistent harassment her hands are tied because of the power structure. That leaves me now, working for a new "close friend" hired as my  boss whom has used racially charged words at me during meeting. Specifically addressing others in prefessional english while using black slang with me  recently "btw this aint no diss". In my time here only 1 other minority has been hired in adminstration the last two years. I have since learned that the first president realized the lack of minorities working at the eye-bank and ordered a mandate to equally screen all workers. That''s been skirted and ignored since.  So the last two months I"ve enjoyed harrassment every day from my newest boss and the racist.  everything from my lunch to my timesheet is scruitnized and micromanaged.  I had a 30 minute lecture last week because I put last monday as my sick day and it was the monday before. From a career point, i wish i would have taken the dream job for Toad and Troll.  It seems to be going good for whoever was hired.  Not that I have all regrets in the decision.  I was able to save my money and buy a club which my wife and I run and is finally turning a profit.  My wife was able to stay up here and get and continue her legal career which is going great.  Still it becomes one of those sweet life regrets that I wonder what would have happened if I moved to Corbin Kentucky.</blockquote>
