The regional manager’s leadership style felt overly micromanaging and unapproachable. During my brief time with the company, I did not feel welcomed or supported as a new employee. Communication often came across as rude, dismissive, and impatient, which made it difficult to feel comfortable asking questions during training. I frequently felt talked over and did not feel I was given an opportunity to fully express concerns or ask for clarification. As a result, the onboarding experience was stressful rather than encouraging. New employees need guidance, patience, and a supportive environment while learning a new role, and unfortunately that was not my experience.
