1. Company has TOO MANY politics and it’s affecting other people/departments in the company. Either upper management is not aware of it or they are and refuse to do anything. There’s a struggle of power and it’s very obvious where these managers refuse to talk to each other or work together like they’re 5 years old. Talk about unprofessional work ethic.
2. People in different departments don’t communicate to each other about what and how things need to be done. Request is vague and let's say if you do something wrong, rather than finding solutions and fixing things together as a team, people like to point fingers at each other. It’s very unclear which department does what and they just operate on their terms.
3. It’s surprising that even people who’s been here for years (managers, supervisors, directors, etc) still don't know what they're doing and very incompetent. One simple request can take up to months and it’s ok to delay because they’re managers but not ok if you’re the one who delay.
4. Company plays favoritism hard. It's one of the biggest reasons why so many incompetent people are promoted so fast. I’ve seen way too many dedicated employees who devote their lives to the company but only stay as mere entry-level positions.
5. HR department is useless. Hiring process takes an average of 2-3 months and that’s very normal here. When people have issues and complain to HR, they don’t do anything to fix it or discipline people who’s at fault. But they’ll come to you if you're late for work, clock in for lunch later than it’s supposed to. What’s the point of even having a HR department then..
6. They often hire incompetent people and turn a blind eye to pass their probation because they’re desperate for people.
7. No morale/culture in the company. If you’re lucky, some of your coworkers will be very friendly and down to earth but that's often not the case.
8. Employee benefits - super cheap is all I have to say.
9. Employee turnover rate is super high. Most people who left are upper management who have been here for years and actually know how to do their jobs. That says a lot about how this company operates.
10. No parking - you’ll have to park on the street which is very insecure. I hear stories about people whose cars get hit, keyed or even ticketed.
11. Not enough working space - New hires don’t even have desks or have to share a desk with someone else because they don’t plan it through. I’ve seen new hires come in when their computers aren’t even set up.
12. Office is super dusty and it’s even worse because they have carpets and dusty vent that blows out dust everyday. Wonder how many times they deep clean this office.
13. Office work space is sad. Expect typical corporate cubicle. If you need office supply even a small post-it notes/pens, you have to fill out order form and it needs to be approved by your manager, director, etc.
14. Software is very outdated and you’ll always need to do things manually. If a large company like this handles million lives, please invest in better technology/software to handle things more efficiently and accurately.
I wish I was telling fake news but I’m not. This company creates a very toxic environment to work with. It drains your energy from dealing with all the politics and incompetent people. They will ask you to work extra hard and basically dedicate your life to the company but won’t offer anything to compensate you. It’s not a surprise why so many good people leave the company.
