Lofty Reviews

Racist toxic environment where whole sales team in PHX calls CEO “washy washy” (family guy reference), and nothing gets done. Nickname has traveled to Salt Lake City also. This company embraces racism. CEO always threatens to fire people, reminds people they are overpaid and can be replaced by oversea employee. Joseph Chen (CEO) will remind you, that after a 1/2 hr meeting, you’ve wasted a calculated cost of $13,000,000 of his time or some inflated value he sees himself. Every time a leader leaves a team, Joe will trash the leader, saying they’ve failed to step up- and that they are cowards and useless. He pits our Salt Lake City and our Arizona teams against each other all the time, telling both offices that they suck, all behind each others back to create a very toxic environment. He has shiny object syndrome, and will get distracted and move the whole company’s direction or operations with it. If your sales numbers are doing good, the CEO will raise your quota, making it harder to get your commissions. The CEO sees everyone as workers and does not value culture or human rights at all. He relentlessly lets people go, berates them, and reminds you how much of a failure you are. If I’m being redundant, it’s because this is what he does and has drilled into our heads. Going to strip clubs is a common thing amongst the leadership team, when they’re visiting from overseas. The overseas team have 0 respect for any teams in America. Some of them openly brags about making girls in his team cry. We attempted to have a few US employees directly report to them, but they were casted away swiftly for their behaviors in the US. Morale at the company is at an all time low- no one is respected, not even our leadership team. Everyone is apparently useless, in the eyes of Joe. False promises of 401k, stock options, and other benefits. No one gets promoted.. and if they do, it’s only a title change, or he’ll change the bonus and commission structure so you actually make less money, as a sales leader, but mask it as an opportunity. Joe will expect you to work everyday and every night— US and China hours.

You give the company everything, but they DO NOT meet your basic needs. There is NO development because leadership themselves are under skilled. There is no career path for anyone in the company except managers they give themselves new titles frequently to separate themselves from their subordinates and to look good on paper. There are no resources and if you're looking for help to successfully do your job, good luck finding it! You don't have consistent 1-1's and when you do have one it's a waste of time because nothing comes out of it. It's a superficial way for your manager to act as if they're managing you. Your workload increases but your pay stays the same. My advice would be for HR to take a long hard look at the people they have in leadership and clean house. It will never improve with the people that are currently in place.
