Loved this place until it burnt me out

Account management

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good health benefits, paid time off between Christmas and New Years

Cons

Constantly understaffed and being told to "do more with less", unfair balance of workloads, pay is worse than industry standard and no honest transparent communication internally from senior leadership. Frequent layoffs made in secrecy with an already understaffed workforce and no coverage plan in place. Nepotism runs rampant. Left this place with severe burnout and clinically diagnosed PTSD from the poor management and insane workload placed on me.

Thank you for taking the time to submit a review and for the detailed feedback. Although you are no longer with the company it would be helpful for us if you could reach out to to one of the following people: Chief People Officer or People Partner/Capability President so we can discuss your feedback and perspective in more detail as we work towards any improvements. Thank you again.
