The reason I am giving two stars instead of negative fifty is because of the amazing co-workers I had. I also enjoyed the time spent with my team, in particular.
The misgivings I have about working at FH is mostly management and pay. I cannot speak for every department, but my manager was particularly inept at setting reasonable metrics and for giving us praise.
I did not hear word one about big wins, innovations, or process improvements I contributed, or my steadfast work ethic.
Instead, my manager took time out of my day to highlight extremely minuscule and inconsequential mistakes that, in most cases, weren't mistakes at all.
My mental health and wellbeing suffered a drastic setback during my time at FH, due to this. The incredible, funny, and talented co-workers whom I met helped mitigate the circumstances, but ultimately I had to leave due to well below-average industry wages, an incompetent manager, and a culture of counterintuitive bureaucratic perfectionism.
A wise mentor and extremely successful businessman I knew, warned me about any company, brand, or organization, where the “Death By Meeting” phenomenon was prevalent. Unfortunately, this is very much the soup du jour at Fareharbor.
You can expect countless 1-on-1’s with your manager, team lead, the ghost of Rodney Dangerfield, etc. where nothing of consequence is ever discussed outside of the weather. It is a terribly inefficient waste of time and resources and the operational equivalent of eating wood chips.
But hey, life is short and we'll all be worm-food someday. I don't wish ill upon anyone.
