Problematic Branch Manager, Unethical Business Practices and HQ turned a blind eye
Pros
There are some great people who work for BBSI. They work hard and dedicate so much to growing the business with little reward. I loved my clients and they appreciated my efforts and that made the job worth it during the time I was there.
Cons
During the time I was there the Branch Manager coasted on his laurels. If it wasn't for his great team the branch wouldn't had achieved the level of success it did. He had a terrible management style of pitting his employees against each other. This is a manager who leads out of fear. Once the smart ones were onto him, we didn't allow it and he didn't like that. The ones that fed into it felt entitled by the way he treated them. This created a very toxic and hostile environment. There were many team meetings where he would yell finger point and grown adults would leave in tears. I could never understand why this was allowed to go on in the branch and then a confidential source made me aware that he was protected because he had a relative in another branch that was a high performer. Since I have left I have heard he was demoted and a new Manager is over the branch. I hope this is a good change. However, the toxic employees that were allowed to enable this toxic manager are still there. The smart and ethical employees got fed up and left.
