Toxic working environment and communication style from management.
This very often left me feeling diminished and mentally exhausted.
For a feedback company, I feel it's ironic that Review Wave refuses to listen to employee feedback/reviews in order to make improvements.
You are losing employees left and right... read the room, make adjustments! - Handle It
Inner Circle City - This place felt like a high school, and there was a cool kids club that "could do no wrong". I encourage management, to read the book "Animal Farm", try to see which characters you identify with the most.
Speaking of high school, there was once a sales floor rule at Review Wave that went something like this - If your co-worker can't make it to work on time, then everyone on his/her team will start their shift later and end later as well. The theory was that this would teach employees a lesson and help promote team work. Uh.. how about everyone be an adult and make it to work on time?
Management will tell you when it is time to stand and make calls, and all of the sudden you’ll realize that the “standing desk” you were excited about during orientation isn’t so cool anymore. My mind and body knows when it’s time to stand and when it’s time to sit.
Also, this company loves to gamify things like your salary/hourly-rate. You could get a raise one day, and before you know it be brought back down. This is your employees livelihood, not monopoly. Stop gamifying their lives.
They love love love numbers… and I get it, in order to run a successful business you have to be.
This constant hunger for numbers had me feeling like, “just a number” myself.
Find me this number though:
Out of all the (SDR’s) Sales Development Representatives that Review Wave have had over the past few years, how many of those have actually been promoted to an (AE)Account Executive role?
Find me that percentage.
Now out of those that you have promoted to AE, how many are still there?
You know they say one is chance, two is a coincidence, and three is a pattern.
Do the math.
