randomly get high volume work with weekends being used up

Compensation is Uncompetitive: Pay is low, benefits are poor, and the benefits package was recently weakened (e.g., taking away the option to purchase vacation). The high cost of parking further reduces effective take-home pay. ​Demotivating Pay Structure: The company enforces a mandatory, non-merit-based performance distribution (e.g., forcing 25% below, 10% below, and 15% partial ratings), which punishes high performers and is inherently unfair. ​Non-Existent Work-Life Balance: There is an implied expectation that you must stay at work until all tasks are complete, regardless of the time. This is compounded by management calling employees on their scheduled time off, demonstrating a complete lack of respect for personal boundaries. ​Poor Management/Accountability: The work environment is not supportive. Management is poor, and employees frequently get blamed for mistakes made by others or for issues that occurred while they were away.
