Toxic Culture for UX/UI Designers

Business outlook

Pros

Competitive pay, the stability you would come to expect from a Fortune 200 company and the option to dress casual is refreshing for a corporate environment. Additionally, AutoNation on a macro level has grown to appreciate their employees by providing us with occasional paid breakfast and lunch events.

Cons

Unreasonably high turn-over of UX/ UI designers who are usually terminated by the director over political and hyperemotional (and irrational) reasons. Lack of growth opportunities for contract employees; there are many of us that have been there over a year with no option in sight to become a direct hire. The UX team is the ONLY team comprised almost entirely of contract employees in Marketing. As such, contract employees are treated with disdain by the director who likes to run the team with intimidation and the constant reminder that our work is meaningless and that we are expendable. Poor team organization, lack of autonomy, vague project direction and abominable benefits (poor health insurance, no paid time off, no vacation pay, no paid bereavement, no 401k) round off all of the contributing factors that make this office a toxic workplace.

AutoNation Response

We are sorry to hear that you are feeling underappreciated. AutoNation encourages open communication and we are constantly looking for areas to improve on overall transparency. We will carefully review and take your concerns into consideration.
