Organic Food, Toxic Work Environment - Anonymous employee Nature's Path Employee Review

- Marketing lacks coherent brand strategy, metrics & process. Generally, no one knows what’s going on - Leadership is easily distracted by shiny new ideas and lacks respect for work that has already been done - Marketing leadership is inexperienced, their practices and ideas are outdated, and they don’t know what to do with their talented team - Psychologically unsafe and stressful environment with bullying, passive aggression, politics, gossip, back-channel communication, and a lack of boundaries - Leadership is dictatorial, and rules with dysfunctional, erratic, and abusive behaviour, leaving team to feel powerless and at fault - Team members are demoralized, burnt out, confused and suffer from anxiety; those who ask for help are ignored - Many team members don’t have job descriptions and/or are forced to work out of scope with increasing responsibilities - “Pulse-check surveys” create the illusion that action is being taken, but there hasn’t been any relevant action or change - Speaking up or taking action seems to have consequences. Many have either been removed, muscled out or bullied for seeking clarity and change  - People & Culture can’t do very much but listen
