Corporate management is horrible; communication is non-existent, and is dominated by a culture of fear. You will come in one day to find that your critical coworkers have been fired abruptly, and are never replaced. Business strategy could be described as "frantic" or "erratic"- every week there is some new pressing emergency which demands you drop everything else you've been assigned. You will be given a crushing amount of responsibilities, and then your goals will be constantly revised upwards, with no increase in resources. You will be perpetually squeezed. Even though the company raises prices significantly every year to "give our employees a good standard of life," you will never actually get a raise. Your sick days and PTO are drawn from the same bank (12 days a year), and you will never get any holidays off. Don't want to work on Christmas Day or Thanksgiving? Better be prepared to use 1/6th of your time off for the entire year. Management is both chronically disorganized and overbearing. You will be given totally absurd goals, work yourself ragged in an attempt to meet them, and never get anything in return- not even recognition or a "good job." Every Friday you will have to send the CEO a personalized email listing all the things you did that week, which will never, ever, ever get a response. The company is "always hiring" because staff turnover is absurd- location managers are hired, and within a month they'll be fired, without even a chance to acclimate and prove themselves. This is a bad, bad, BAD place to work. If I can convince just one other person not to subject themselves to this work environment, maybe my time here meant something.
