Toxic, Unsupportive Culture, Unrealistic Expectations, High Turnover - Anonymous Leaf Group Employee Review

CEO sets the tone for a toxic culture that breeds, enables, and empowers inexperienced managers with irrationally inflated egos. People often seem to be walking on eggshells - there is an overarching sense of competitiveness and a lack of trust among the employees that creates an 'out for themselves' mentality (a la 'Survivor'). The brands in the portfolio lack a compelling, cohesive story, and are functionally disjointed across different platforms which makes logistics challenging. Management has unrealistic expectations. Operationally over-processed and their tech stack is extremely inefficient consisting of about 10-15 different types of software that could be consolidated if anyone were open to learning about other alternatives. Lots of "We have always done it this way. New ideas are not welcome" Finally, while they claim to be a compassionate company with a strong commitment to DEI and go through the motions at the high level, it seems their motivation is optics, because they don't seem to sincerely practice what they preach on a more individual level.
