Toxic work environment

Business Outlook

Pros

pre COVID you would get quarterly commissions, an annual cruise, and monthly free lunch for birthdays.

Cons

Toxic positivity, no constructive criticism is allowed. Since working remote all perks are gone, no bonuses, no incentive, no cruise (because of a class action lawsuit). Managers are impossible to have one-on-one time with and use working remotely as a great excuse to monitor every little thing you do, there's no trust.

Pros

Free cruise and ample parking

Cons

Where to begin: 1. Management and owners are antiquated and not open to new ideas. They say they are but are very resistant to change. Most senior level VPs have been there years and have not kept up with industry best practices. Bad attitudes, especially among certain male VPs, envelope entire departments. 2. Borderline abusive environment. Owner and senior level management yell at subordinates and think it's ok. I saw more people cry here than at any other previous place of employment. There is no official HR department either. 3. Computers and laptops are old and refurbished. 4. Morale is low. Owners place employees far below the bottom line. They are so out of touch they think a free stale monthly lunch will make up for it. 5. Turnover rate is very high. Those who do stay.....do it for the free trip. 6. Only way to get promoted is to be on the owner's good side. If he does not like you, for whatever reason, there's no room for advancement.
