Mental Health Killer - Customer Service Representative Safavieh LLC Employee Review

One anecdote that I think really sums up what it's like working at Safavieh is the fact that because one of the owner's daughters does not like the smell of citrus, no one at the company is allowed to even bring an orange into the building. That really sets the tone for what you can expect there. Unless you are the child of one of the owners, no one will respect you, no one will look out for you, no one will ever offer you a promotion above whatever underpaid entry level position you were hired at. You will be stuck working for over-privileged, under-educated brats for the rest of your time here no matter how good you are. Many of the team managers feel the sting of having to suck up to these children immensely and it has turned many of them into the worst kind of bitter, mean, toxic bosses anyone could ever hope to encounter. Casual sexual harassment, blatant favoritism and full-on bullying of certain employees is typical fare here, particularly on the team that manages the largest accounts for the company. You're expected to work long hours in a windowless office while one of the owner's kids paces up and down the hallway waiting to catch you doing anything other than slaving away at your desk. The owners have told their children explicitly not to get too friendly with any of us commonfolk. They strive to prevent employees from becoming too friendly with each other. It was not uncommon to hear many of my coworkers talk about how much their mental health suffered while working at Safavieh. This explains the INSANELY high turnover rate; if your choice is to work at this factory of misery for an offensively low pay check or preserve your mental health, it's a pretty easy choice. There is no future here for anyone who's last name is not the same as the CEO's, and considering the work ethic and abilities of the next generation, Safavieh is not going to be around for much longer. Avoid at all costs.
