This used to be a family-oriented company, now it is a sweat shop. New managment expects to run things how they did at thier previous jobs. (Oil company, not a finacial or retirement company mind you, that says a lot) The new people getting hired are from the management's old company, so the professional culture is now being tainted. Managment uses negative and deplorable remarks about vendors calling them "Dogs you want to drive 50 miles away and abandon" (Thats shows how little life means to them).
All the new people are instantly given upper managment roles (Even though there is no money for budget, it is truly all about who you know, not what you know) and all day long they toot thier horn about how great they are doing, and how much they have changed things. Except they are not doing anything diffrent than it was before. They constantly sound like used car salesman trying to get us to "bite" that they are here for the better. They are not, they jusy found a way to get paid more and stick together.
There used to be good, hard working honest and real people at this compnay. People who cared and carried this company on thier back during times of financial trouble. Those people have been replaced by not getting fired but "thier jobs were elliminated".. No one buys that non sense so stop lying to us. They were not your freinds, so you got rid of them.
The work is always reactive, because the new management has no clue what the systems do. When a correct solution is brought up, they don't understand it and tangent and deflect until you just go back to your desk and polish your resume.
At GreatWest you are not a employee, you are expendable number just waiting to get contracted out.
