ADM Financial Controller reviews

I left of my own accord after 12 years. As an accountant, I saw the bonuses reaped from upper management while employee-focused social functions, bonuses, and even Christmas parties were cut. The company has begun outsourcing. I.T. was outsourced a few years ago. In 2021 and 2022, Accounting functions were outsourced. They claimed it wasn't outsourcing, but a strategic partner. However, that was not the case. Morale was low and many left. I was told I would lose my position in the coming year. It was literally that arbitrary. They couldn't give me a date or time period. In order to receive severance I had to stay on board to train my overseas replacement and as long as I was needed. I did not stick around. Management often forms their reviews to alott only certain high marks to limit the number of "higher raises" given out each year at review time. I worked two jobs and kept both desks afloat for months until I could train and supervise a new hire. I was given a poor review with no mention of my extended duties beyond my job. I was also given supervisory duties over two employees which I held for 2 years. I could not be given the title, however, because a pay bump wasn't approved. This happened to another person in my group, also. I performed the work of a supervisor without the title or pay. Bottom line, ADM only cares about margins.

Poor performance raises, lack of communication, constant state of change, virtually no training and too many layoffs.
