- Little to no career growth and financial increase. Malouf will usually hire outside candidates instead of working with the people they have (even if they are well qualified.)
- If your manager is a bully, there is nothing you can do about it. HR will say that you can come to them, however, I documented and recorded proof of this on my manager and I received a write/up for insubordination. After speaking with HR, they said verbatim "I'm sorry, but we have to side with our management teams and support them." I literally feel like I was bullied out of Malouf by my management team and I couldn’t do anything about it.
- Training programs are almost nonexistent. If you do not understand your job or train yourself, management will fire, demote or write you up (but not give you the proper tools to learn what they expect.)
- There is a lot of favoritism, especially with the sales team. The CEO even dubbed who he thinks "the hottest guy" was at one of our company meetings.
- Pay is all over the place and very unfair (not competitive at all.) Malouf is hiring outside new-hires with no experience at a higher pay level than current employees that have been with Malouf for years. When asked about this the HR and management said, "sorry, it is just how the job market works." They also get very upset when you talk to coworkers about wages.
- Management has been known to ask for text message and conversations on personal phones for what is being said in the department.
