Could do with a lot of changes - Anonymous employee Opal Financial Group Employee Review

Unfortunately they set me up with a team that had 0 knowledge on the position I was hired for so they would ask for random files to be created for no reason. Would then redo them because you did not use the format that they wanted and then rub it in your face that you had not done the work. Could not get them to understand anything, even during calls, as they only heard one out of every 10 things out of my mouth. One of the team members would actually question every single thing proposed with “what do you mean by...” and would go on to rant about a random subject not important to the role. This same colleague would constantly be condescending and treat you like you didn’t know anything when you asked or proposed things. Should really work on their people skills. There were multiple opportunities to advance and innovate because their current structure was very outdated but since my direct team had no idea what I was talking about 90% of the time, none of that could even be implemented or planned. The first week I asked for data and numbers so a correct assessment could be done so we could improve and I was literally told I was thinking too much and just to work on gaining followers. The CEO apparently has crazy expectations that can’t be met. And restricts the content almost entirely. The second week I was asked to do a full marketing strategy and later was told I was once again going too in depth. I was only here for a very short time as I could tell it would be a pain to deal with the coworkers and implement any successful strategies with their current mindset.
