Leadership changes everything

Pros

Everything is great within your first year or two. I’ll start off with the pros. Majority of the people who work at Grow are great and so friendly. The benefits are probably some of the best - great healthcare and 6% match 401K. They value work life balance which is nice too. I think it really depends on which department you work in. Some departments have great leadership and team members.

Cons

Sadly, it usually takes one bad egg (marketing leader) to turn a great work environment into a toxic one. Toxic as in -creating a divide between their own department on purpose, playing favoritism, not showing up to meetings, and making rude comments. It was always very frustrating to have passion for your work and trying to give your expertise to help benefit the company to find out that leadership doesn’t trust it’s own team. The leadership on the marketing team held the whole department back because of the lack of his experience of the financial industry. Most of the C-suite does’t really want to try new ideas and usually feel threatened when other employees think of better or alternative solutions. They preach a culture of “life beyond the everyday” meaning they want to go above and beyond to anticipate member’s (customer’s) needs. But when in fact, they do the opposite. They rather inconvenience members to save themselves a few dollars.

Pros

Members are treated extraordinarily. Very member obsessed. Constant goal keeping and number motivated. "Friendly" competition. Pay is great; especially if you are coming in with no experience and working on a degree. You are able to communicate moving up within the company. Have a great idea of work culture and diversity. Provide classes such as public speaking, integrity and etc. Live and breathe Gallup.

Cons

The friendliness soon fades and the genuineness is a facade. In the SC region, training is terrible and basically nonexistent. You are over looked and expected to self teach and train in an office space alone. Personally told to my face by my market manager and supervisor, that no one knew how or wanted to train me. When they have enough and you aren't performing as expected, they lack accountability in training, place the blame on you and you are pushed out the door. Turn over in newest Charleston branch is 5 or 6 employees in less than a 2 year period. You are told to communicate and express your concerns and when you do they are disregarded and dismissed. You are reminded very often that you are replaceable. A lot of bosses and lack of leaders.
