The training and culture are terrible. A senior planner called an analyst stupid in a meeting in front of everybody. That’s how bad the culture is and that’s what I value the most at a job is the people. Everyone kept to themselves for the most part. I was asked to do assignments with no training. Literally, they asked me to do something and a regular analyst asked me if I had even learned it and I told them I haven’t even heard of it. The training structure is 1/10. They would send spreadsheets with information am no information about where it was pulled from. Even when I asked, all I was told is it was a “vlookup.” That did nothing for me. I said I didn’t receive information about the spreadsheet itself and the senior manager said, “I’m not buying that.” Well, I think I know what I have learned and what I haven’t. I may forget something off the top of my head, then after someone says it, I remember it. But insulting people with smart remarks gets you nowhere. After getting embarrassed in about 5 meetings a senior planner finally went over what I was asking for. After that, I walked out. I got tired of the, “you’re young, you should remember this,” “you have experience in this so you should know this” and “if you don’t think or have a brain, then I have no use for you” comments. The mental negativity wasn’t worth staying there. At least in a corporate job where you pretty much can’t talk back due to HR. Coming from a construction background, I can say I would’ve been fired from keeping it all bottled up and snapping on the trainers. They try to teach a job like this from home and it takes much longer than learning in person but they don’t seem to know that because they got to keep there jobs through COVID. Maybe they need to calm down and count there blessings instead of acting like people are learning slow when they never have had to learn a job from home.
