Fivestars reviews

The commitment to value on the surface seems incredible. There are 4 values that are embedded into your daily life. However, these are not practiced by much of leadership. It's more do as I say, not as I do. That was by far the most disappointing thing about working at FiveStars. For example, two values- humility and authentic relationships. In a 360 review I had the audacity to share that my boss needed improvement in an area. The feedback had been given to her prior to the review by myself and others, but when I shared it was was reamed for it. I thought I would be fired then and there for giving authentic feedback we'd discussed. Hardly humble. There is an Us vs. Them between HQ and non-HQ. Particularly with sales which was a churn and burn mentality. While the culture can be a lot of fun, the drinking often lead to not so fun situations for employees.

I loved this company and worked very hard and was aligned with their vision. Somewhere along the line, the rejection from small business owners and a sometimes faulty product negatively affected my faith in the product and process. I was very vocal about these concerns because I wanted to stay with the company and wanted help to improve. I asked for extra training and was simply ignored and told that there is nothing else I can learn. What about sharpening my skills with the sales trainers? It didn't seem important to my city manager. I was inevitably fired for underperforming, even though I was vocal about my struggles and asked for help. There also doesn't seem to be much room for growth for individuals.
