Toxic environment and disrespectful leadership

Anonymous- salaried staff

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Work life balance is okay but not great. There are some genuine nice individuals to work with.

Cons

Where do I even start? Disgusting work environment, constant turnover of employees and management, unorganized at every level of the organization. Incompetent HR senior leadership (CHRO), VERY toxic work culture among EAs, The main individual causing all of the toxicity, stays around and is allowed to continue with bad behavior. Poor communication from HR. I have never worked in a more chaotic, toxic, and frustrating environment. HR doesn't care about morale at all and turns a blind eye to issues rather than dealing with them.

Pros

Flexible work schedule allows for employees to both change their hours slightly and even days to work from home.

Cons

Stubborn upper level management does not want to change methods of work. Poor communication between teams causes frustration and delays. Culture has diminished over the last several years to virtually non-existent.
