Sold a dream, given a nightmare
Pros
The people I met and kept as friends...which are less then 10.
Cons
They had 4 layoffs corp wide since June 2022 and I was thee only person in my position for my market. I was eventually let go Jan 2023 to only have my position posted for a replacement when we were told we had a hiring freeze due to the bottom line which budgets were cut already, drastically as is, including the minimal employee perks. I sent Robert Reffkin & his assistant a 9-page letter via email of discernment, hurt, concern, hostile environment, lack of compassion while processing bereavement which included names/dates and concluded lividly that the amount they considered fitting for "severance" was an insult to what I contributed during my tenure. Of course they didn't respond. I remember the leaked email from Robert complaining and giving the wrong definition of quiet quitting on the job as if he felt no need to ask why employees felt necessary to do so. It's because we were/are overwhelmed and underpaid and forced to be rebranded into made-up roles and given 8 plates to juggle for no pay increase to make all look good for stakeholders and agents. Then I realized this was the actual definition of quiet hiring...but he won't address that, I'm sure. I came into this job beaming of relief and hype to have it taken away with the sentiment this place really doesn't GAF about you. You are replaceable. Your job is beneath them. The recognition is fake. The ones that appreciate you don't need your absence to figure that out. The "rules" at your office do not apply in every office. Everything feels like they're winging it. Nepotism & gaslighting is real. If I could turn back time, I would've left once I saw I was the only one standing after they let go the other 2 in that position.
