Even if you fail in your case, you will be branded, and it will hurt your chances for further employment, provided your next employer looks into your history.
Employers can only find out what is public record. EEOC complaints are not public record. Civil cases are, but if they are resolved and a term of the resolution if sealing the record, that takes it off the public record as well.
The mediation process requires an agreement to confidentiality.
I've done EEOC complaints before. Nobody has heard of them in a background check on me.
