Tough culture - not an easy palce to work

Widespread favoritism among management. Micromanagement of employees, including work performance and PTO usage. Management does not assist with phones or workload but takes extended breaks and time off during work hours. Lack of accountability for leadership compared to frontline staff. Poor morale and high stress due to inconsistent expectations. One annual raise, if given, is minimal and does not reflect workload or stress. Frequent layoffs without notice, often communicated through sudden meetings. Employees are openly told their jobs are not guaranteed and encouraged to apply elsewhere.
