HR was just plain bad and if you weren't at their beckon call, or rubbed them the wrong way you were shown the door. Before being bought by an investment group Sovos had a lot of great talent, especially in leadership, but when an investment group bought Sovos and expanded their portfolio it became evident that there wasn't room for all of the cooks in the kitchen and the good ones were let go. With mostly poor leadership left stress and chaos ensued. After having my leadership fired I stepped up to do their daily job and waited 6 months for them to repost the opening (it was considerably cheaper to have me doing the job at my pay scale,) only for them to hire someone from outside of the company instead who I would then need to train to be proficient. Fortunately I could see it coming a mile away and already had my resume out there. Lastly Sovos liked to hire fresh inexperienced graduates for a fraction of industry standards, so there was quite a revolving door for full-time staff. I wouldn't recommend working there to a friend.
