Where to start??? Despite being around since 88 this company is still going through growing pains - answering to the stockholders and forgetting to make decisions good for the business and the employees who work here.
Decisions are made behind closed doors time and a again by a few ELT members concerned only with image and communication of impact is non-existent. These decisions are always big and affect the employees and clients and often seem to fix what’s not broken leading to a lot of confusion, employee dis-satisfaction and incredible attrition and they never turn the lens on themselves as the actual issue. These leaders are so out of touch with the day to day and most likely sit in a room telling each-other how wonderful they are all day long rather than actually work. The company continues to boast and have meeting after meeting about employee wellness, engagement surveys, “we care about you” “ we want to hear what you think” blah blah blah and does NOTHING about the input. The same issues come up every year and still nothing is done to fix it. Instead they spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on a new system at the whim of one HR ELT person who has an ego the size of CA and only knows how to drop the latest “terms” so they sound intelligent OR for fancy client photos on yet another (!) marketing campaign and then they lay off entire departments!
Work life is non existent - exceptionally long hours and a horrendous Covid response - actions don’t match words ELT!
The ELT and CEO refuse to see or listen to valuable members of the team, HR has brought in a few terrible hires who only care about their own agenda, their image and their vision with no regard whatsoever for the employees or looking at the actual work that’s being done. Good performance is viewed as a threat to those leaders and has led to many sudden “departures” through out my tenure (which no one ever talks about) and they keep only those who feed the egos and keep quiet or blindly Moreover culture can be abusive and unfair - again, if it doesn’t service the egos of the ELT it doesn’t matter what work you do well.
It’s a shame really - TN has some wonderful people and so many employees are genuine and hard working - it would almost be better if the company admitted they don’t care and stop asking for our opinions. At least own up to it and stop pretending like you care.
I am counting the days until I find a new job - reorg after reorg starts to really wear on you as an employee and never feeling like you’re safe is a terrible way to show up every day.
Do yourself a favor and if you’re considering a job here, scroll through the earlier reviews - a campaign was just completed to increase the score on GD and people were “requested” to add some positive reviews.
