Too many to list. People are leaving and even without jobs because they are so burned out, demoralized, mistreated and devalued. Very, very stressful workplace. Management needs to make changes to retain good people.
(1) I feel that they do not value the work of the employees who work extremely hard
(2) people go way above and beyond and their contributions are either undermined or you are made to feel like you don't matter
(3) the culture and morale is very, very low. (due to a variety of things such as high turnover, poor management and leadership, compensation, lack of transparancy and lack of appreciation for working at all hours and foregoing time off, false sense of urgency) Also many positions have been outsourced to CostaRica and Honduras
(4) the company says that they want to develop and promote from within, but from what I have seen executives do not seem to stay long and their replacements are not internally promoted but hired from the outside (So, if you join, I would say do not expect a huge upside or room for growth and promotion)
(5) the compensation is low end and I believe that this combined with feeling highly underappreciated has resulted in many, many people looking to leave and leaving. It is highly challenging to maintain a positive attitude
(6)New intiatives are announced out of the blue and the expectations coming from them are not reasonable. Also you work on things on top of your already overwhelming work load and they decide not to do them.
(7) HUGE sense of false urgency about projects and deadlines. Does not matter if you are on vacation or what time it is, you do it - no thank you in sight. Unpredictable work needs causes high stress that never goes away.
(8) HIGLY POLITICAL and the things people have said about top leadership hiring friends and family is true. It is very boys club with events that certain people are invited to and if you’re not, forget it. Problem is the closer you are to that, the less you seem to do right.
I was treated in a very unprofessional way, brought to attention of division head and nothing was done about it. Not even an apology. Some managers are not held accountable and there is no one to talk to about problems that will actually do anything. Terrible feeling.
The company’s values are nice, but they do not live by them. I agree with previous post saying people can be rude and condescending without consequences and no 360 review. There is a good reason for that - just read these reviews. Many Managers do not take time or know how to manage, some are downright condescending and dismissive and do not even display common courtesy.
All of these things result in a negative workplace envoronment that is hard to take and I would not recommend it. This could be addressed and is not.
