Working at this company felt like entering a realm where energy vampires thrive, draining the life out of every employee. Transparency was virtually nonexistent, and a culture of backstabbing prevailed. Managers and directors, along with HR, engaged in deceptive practices—smiling to your face while undermining you behind your back.
Mistakes were met with blame or silence, either way there was no opportunity given to rectify them, creating a stressful and unproductive atmosphere. The management, characterized by childish behavior, fostered a bullying culture that trickled down from the top.
No respect for work-life balance, regularly called in during home office days, holidays and sick days. Company expects employees to dedicate their entire lives to the job, showing a complete disregard for the well-being of its staff. Company is romanticized and sold as a happy place in hiring stage but reality is very different.
HR was caught asking employees to write positive reviews on platforms like Glassdoor and Google. Great example of ethical concerns normal at this company and brings forth questions of company's integrity.
There was no compensation for overtime, despite the expectation to be available 24/7. Old fashioned hierarchical structure, CEO's behavior was deemed sleazy and with no real knowledge of industry outside of hospitality. The company had a high turnover rate, likely driven by the torturous environment that led to regularly walking in on coworkers having panic attacks and breakdowns during working hours, throughout every department.
The supposed emphasis on being a "family" seemed purely for company gain, lacking any genuine support for employees' mental health. The company appeared to hire individuals with limited options, such as those reliant on visas or childcare, exploiting their vulnerability. The well-being of clients seemed secondary, overshadowed by the toxic internal dynamics.
This company is not recommended unless in desperate circumstances. It appears to favor hiring young, attractive women vetted by the CEO personally, perpetuating an unhealthy work culture. Multiple burnouts were witnessed, met with harsh criticism upon return. The HR department was described as inept and immoral, and the higher-ups lacked the foresight or desire to address the mental health needs of their staff.
This workplace is a place of paranoia, backstabbing, and a culture that actively discourages empathy. For those seeking a mentally healthy work environment, it's advised to steer clear and explore better options elsewhere.
