Lied to, Taken advantage of, Thrown to the wolves - Ecommerce Content Specialist DICK'S Sporting Goods Employee Review

I started working at DSG fresh out of college. I was a contractor making $15/hour. Within 2 weeks of starting, I was covering an entire category of business, having the same responsibilities as the full time employees. Needless to say, I was crushing it. I was told when I started that I would have the opportunity to interview for an open role on the team 1-3 months after starting. However, my boss threw a meeting on our calendar and told us that she had hired two new people on the team. Guess who trained these full time employees? I did. The contractor trained the new full time employees. Considering the turnover is so high, I was able to interview for another open role on the team a few months following. The fact they even made me interview for a role I had been doing for 8 months is hilarious. I was made full time and given a salary of 45k (lol). Pre-covid, we were in the office full time. I would go weeks without seeing or speaking to my manager. We were on our own. One time, I came into the office and my desk was being torn down (they were turning that room into a breast pumping room). My manager was informed about this, but did nothing. One time, two contractors showed up at my desk on their first day. They had no computers, nothing. My manager was not there, so I trained them on what I could with pen and paper and sent them home. One time, we were told that we were going to split our role into two roles. 3 people on the team were selected to pilot the new role based on seniority, the other 5 of us were left doing the grunt work. We were told that after the pilot, we would have the opportunity to interview for the newer/better role. However, those 3 people were promoted without an interview. Notice how I didn't even touch on how awful the actual role itself is... that's a whole other story, but the culture speaks for itself: RUN.
