Your experience depends where you work and who your leaders are at the division level. The Palm Atlantic Divison leader would elevate his voice and yell daily using profanity, call out employees using them as examples and embarass them in front of peers, tell employees working in the open-concept floor to be quiet even when we were on zoom meetings, make agressive eye contact if someone laughed too loudly, etc creating a hostile environment. Despite everyone wearing nametags, I was referred to as "New Kid" for at least 3 months. Another leader would tell the sales team to "hike up their skirts" to meet sales goals. Vacation was strongly discouraged, especially during the holidays during year-end. If you do have a vacation planned, you might be bribed to not take it...which is interesting because the leaders genuinely showed interest in everyone's families including sharing about their own. As a leader myself, I was told to "poke" one of my direct reports to get them to quit. Manual reports were expected to be filled out and distributed between around 11:30pm on Sunday and 8:30am on Monday after the week's sales were complete. I witnessed multiple people cry during my short time there. If you take a role there, budget for therapy; at least 2 individuals ended up taking leave due to what could be assumed as mental health reasons. Neither returned.
