Run Away FAST and Don't think Twice! - Manager Avetta Employee Review

* I often felt like I was working back in 1990: Very disorganized, outdated processes and even questionable business practices along with ineffective setup and use of their systems---this creates enormous, tedious and frustrating workload via manual processes. * The culture is by far the worst I have ever witnessed or experienced where the lack of consideration for others is so great it was downright disturbing---such as, one of the other office workers experienced a significant death in the family and she was extended zero empathy and instead given 1 day to travel all the way across the country and back for a funeral (even though she had the pto earned to take more time). It was a disgusting lack of kindness and not the kind of treatment of others for which I wish to be associated. The girl returned to work on a Monday barely holding it together and still management gave zero rats for her situation. * Punitive and Negative Work Culture/Environment - Textbook Toxic: I witnessed workers being picked apart for making errors while at the same time receiving little to zero support or training to improve. The negativity was so great it was openly hostile at times. This company is a traditional, authoritative, non-collaborative culture where employees are not empowered, but expected to toe the line, managed by people who should not be working with others, let alone manage people. Communication from even VP's was demeaning, belittling or non-existent. *Total lack of boundaries for work/life balance: If you feel the need to take a lunch break --and trust me you will if only to escape the negative and toxic environment or cry in your car for a few minutes each day. But forget that, because breaks of any kind for any reason are frowned upon. Be prepared to work 50-60 hours a week. Be prepared to have last minute meetings put to your calendar at odd and unexpected times without notice, such as early mornings at 8:30 am or be called into other impromptu meetings at 4pm spanning over 2 hours into the evening past 6:30 pm. There is often no boundaries or consideration of your life outside of work. Requests for earned PTO are withheld from staff because even earned time off is considered a "reward". So if you do decide to work here--do so without expecting any time off for any reason.
