Bad leadership with bad pay
Pros
People who work there are great. In my last days at this company I often found myself thinking “ Wow. It’s a wonder that such nice intelligent people stick around at such a terrible company.”
Cons
In my final days I also realized that most of the great people I worked with were either actively looking for other employment opportunities, or had indeed already left. Turnover is high and management is a complete joke. The pay is terrible and it is painfully obvious that you are working to line the pockets of the owners and the other senior leaders (if you can call them leaders). The middle management is slightly better but they are often left defending their teams to upper management because is so out of touch and quite frankly horrible. The middle management tends to cower and cave to upper managements demands, leaving no one to speak for the ground level employees except themselves. The ground level employees are consistently dissatisfied with the work environment and communicate that frequently and often; the company attempts to promote a positive environment but the absolutely atrocious leadership is all any employee can focus on so the mediocre perks mean nothing. Finally, the HR “department” is so painfully unprofessional, unequipped, and useless in terms of speaking for employees that the ground level people working at Fastmore truly have no voice.
