Not-great training
Not the greatest management - gossip, politics, they play favorites.
Was managed extremely strictly. Reports had to be perfect and thorough and exactly the same every time. I processed invoices thoroughly as I was trained but was told I was too slow— on a regular basis. Was trained to do everything the “long way.” Spent too much time/energy on the details and it was hard to hold grasp of the big picture meaning of the information.
Definitely got the message that I was LOWEST on the totem pole so there was not much space for complaining etc. - I took on the work load and did my best to not get in anyone’s way. Was noticeably excluded by senior accountants. The co-worker I was supposed to work with looked down on me, didn’t trust me, moved to Texas and quit.
Culture was tense and depressing most of the time. Didn’t see my manager very much.
I gave this job all I had. 110% I was doing school in the evenings and keeping up with work. Never complained. I was tired all the time. I was training a new hire. I was looking forward to when everyone was back in the office. I had earned having my job protected by my manager or at least transferred to another department. I wanted to stay. Was let go after working all night. They just.. gave up on me.
