Bad Senior Management

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

I can't think of one.

Cons

When senior management is asked about issues or why things are delayed, they continue to manipulate the truth and avoid accountability at all costs, not realizing how much people already know. Persistent issues, like excess inventory being hidden at an office site warehouse, line down issues for weeks on end due to material shorts and systemic breakdowns are ignored or superficially addresses to create a good appearance for corporate. Processes are not being followed and when brought up, management literally chuckles over it. Instead of solving problems on the floor, they care more about 'looks and appearances', by cleaning up for visitors, staging meetings, and masking dysfunction with false narratives. Reorganizing the cubicles or clearing the hallways of excess material for corporate visits are more important than getting to the root cause of the systemic issues. We had an employee who cared about the people, was driving change by getting things done and created more positive changes than their predecessor but was dismissed under questionable circumstances. So-called historic behaviors and false accusations made without any actual and tangible evidence from upper and regional management to protect their fragile egos and preserve status quo. This wasn’t about performance; this was about control. This is how corporate and senior management treats good people. They don’t care about integrity, honor or serving the people. They blame others for their incompetence, stifle growth to maintain power, create stress which leads to high turnover, micromanage high performers, which fosters distrust among everyone. They hide critical information, like an individual that was terrorizing the company and never disclosed who it was, creating unnecessary fear. They change standards when someone pushes back, avoid accountability, share confidences among each other, tell people what they want to hear, and think very highly of themselves. If you want to work for a company like this, look no further….

its a job, not a good job

Pros

not many pros besides its entry level and indoors.

Cons

everything essentially, management is terrible, makes months longer than said to train you. training is subpar and coaches will train you incorrectly or not well enough and have the guts to place blame on the trainee. Hours are long and the pay is average or even below average. the pay is not worth everything else that comes with the job. no headphones allowed which is understandable in the work setting but might discourage some from applying. clear favortism with the leads and employees, they will tolerate people being on their phone, talking for well over 30 minutes at a time ignoring work, and walking around doing absolutely no work all day just because of seniority. they flaunt their experience but quite frankly they are all stuck in an entry level position where they could be replaced in the blink of an eye if they dont kiss the boot of the management. no flexibility if you have family and actually want to be there for them. after leaving this job the skills you obtained will be useless unless you continue in the same entry level positions within the industry.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We appreciate your honesty and the effort you’ve put into explaining what worked and what didn’t during your time here. It’s clear from your feedback that there are areas where we need to do better—particularly around training quality, management practices, and creating a fair and supportive environment. These are important issues, and we’re actively working on improving leadership development and training programs to ensure employees feel prepared and supported from day one. Your comments about flexibility and favoritism are also noted; building trust and accountability is central to our values, and we know that requires continuous effort. We’re grateful for your perspective because it helps us identify where change is needed. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts, and we wish you success in your future endeavors.
