Lost brain cells working here - Anonymous employee Leaf Home Employee Review

1. MUST take lunch from 12 - 1 every single day, no exceptions (understandable if you were in the call center, but not for accounting, HR, marketing or design teams). Must ask for permission to do group lunches because they flip if you take more than an hour. 2. They only hire people to say they have X amount of people on a team because they believe it makes them sound and look cool. When in reality I watched one person shop for shoes 7 out of 8 hours a day, one talk on G chat 7 out of 8 hours a day and me stare at a blank computer screen 7 out of 8 hours a day. 3. If you are a new employee you aren't given the time of day. Overheard VP tell employee that had been there three years that "he takes care of those have that been with him and couldn't care less about anyone coming in that was new." 4. They are set in their ways. No room to advance, no ideas will be approved unless you are a seasoned employee. 5. Cocky upper management (other than the CEO). Talks about how many windows their house has, how many luxury cars they own and how they have more money than 90 percent of the people working there. Most upper-management just fell into the positions they were in because of someone that knows someone. Which is all great, if you actually knew what you were doing. 6. ZERO diversity. You will see about 2 African-Americans and that's as much diversity as you will see. Other than one or two women, all men are in upper-management positions. 7. Completely mindless job. Every single day I felt like I was losing brain cells because of the people I was surrounded by. No one understood what they were doing, why they were doing it or how to do it. 8. PTO. It is 2016 - how do you NOT offer PTO. This is by far the worst company I have ever worked for. I truly do not have anything positive to say about it and want to warn people when they apply.
