To start off this long list of cons, we will begin with pay. When I left Turn 14 Distribution to pursue opportunities elsewhere my salary increased by 25%... this isn't because I was suddenly more valuable to a different place of work. This is because they underpay their employees and try to make up for it by holding different events for employees. These are nice and fun but I'd rather have the extra 25% salary, not some food and alcohol, mingling with my coworkers. In addition to your base salary, you had a chance to receive either a raise or a promotion every year based on your yearly reviews. I use the word raise loosely because most of the time these were just a cost of living raise and an absolute joke. One year I got nothing. Let's move on to management I can only speak for my direct managers who I worked under, but both had no idea how to manage people. In my almost 5 years of working there, I had been publically humiliated on more than one occasion, spoken to like a child for not doing something exactly how the manager had envisioned it in his mind (like we are mind readers), and on more than one occasion had been sent an email the length of a short story for something extremely insignificant. If you aren't in management there you are beneath them, you mean nothing to them. In my time there was never once a path to success presented to any of my coworkers in the department I worked in. I would never recommend working here to any of the people I cared about. The stress I felt from working there toward the end was TRAUMATIZING. I went to work every day walking on eggshells, and the success of my day hanging on the fact if my manager was in a good mood or not. I had to break so many professional bad habbits after leaving this place.
