The most discouraging work cultures I've experienced
Pros
There are some very intelligent and genuine people you will find on occasion.
Cons
This company talked a lot about improvement, but the same horrible problems kept coming back. Communication was terrible and employees were usually the last people to know about layoffs or major changes. A lot of good workers left because they got tired of waiting for management to fix obvious issues. Favoritism is rampant and everyone knew the owner treated certain people better than others. Our managers mostly stayed quiet and agreed with leadership instead of helping the team. Equipment are outdated and support is non-existent. The company only cared about profits and appearances. The stress around layoffs never really went away because nobody trusted management anymore, The make false promises in meetings, but very little actually changed after that. People worked hard and still worried about losing their jobs at any time. The office became frustrating because employees were expected to stay positive while dealing with constant uncertainty. Most people stopped speaking up because it seemed pointless. The company also refused to invest in things that could make the job easier. There is no proper training which means means you are thrown in at the deep end with outdated equipment and very little support. Morale stayed low because leadership cared more about saving money than improving the workplace. There was always this warning feeling around the office that another ad decision was coming soon. I could go and on about how bad this company is. Stay away!!!
