Culture
- company claims to have a “family” culture. God forbid, however, that anything happens in your life. They are unsupportive and judgemental
- they micromanage about things that literally shouldn’t even be a consideration. Need to leave 5 minutes early? Someone is watching to make sure you are there 5 minutes early.
- backstabbing middle management with small egos share anything negative with upper leadership, also will steal your successes (also upper leadership buys this every single time!)
- do not promote personal growth or development
- reviews were rare, and you had to beg for a 2% raise even WITH a good review
- also have been named in a lawsuit for kickbacks
Management
- inept, disrespectful and arrogant. The sales & marketing leadership was downright dysfunctional
- poor communication, no goals or expectations ever communicated
- marketing team leadership focused on anything that looked good for appearance’s sake, but never had substantial success
- frequent comments demeaning the value of the work you do, vague threats that your job was at risk
This company is top heavy and has 4 upper-level managers in the sales/marketing department of 10 people. It lacks direction and leadership has no clue how to motivate a team. If you ask for opportunities, you’re met with derision and negativity. I’ve never worked somewhere so draining or exhausting. And on top of all that, they pay thousands below industry average.
