Where to begin…
- MASSIVELY underpaid and overworked employees. The business could be categorized as a tech company or pharmaceutical company, but they instead identify as a “distribution company” which justifies them paying their people a fraction of what the market calls for
- Poor, oblivious upper management
- No work/life balance in several departments
- Benefits are pricey and are so-so
- Outdated PTO policy, earning only 6 hours per check
- Constructive feedback on employee needs is not taken into consideration
- Promoting people based on tenure, not on skills. Just because you’ve worked at the company for years doesn’t mean you should be managing others
- Hour long, weekly 1:1 meetings, whether they’re needed or not. Not an effective use of time. Always felt more like a test of “what have you done?” or “what are you working on?” to justify your existence
- Entire sales organization was broken. Unethical, immoral practices were not only accepted, they were rewarded
- Senior Leadership has no idea what is going on with their front line managers and front line reps
- Lack of diversity in upper management is shameful
- Sales people are miserable, but no one in management seems to care. They are hemorrhaging good people
