As a minority, my experience at this company was disheartening and often degrading. The lack of diversity was glaring, and it became clear that inclusion was not a priority. I had three different managers in just one year—each reflecting a toxic culture in their own way.
My first manager frequently made uncomfortable remarks referencing my race and ethnicity. I also witnessed frequent insensitive and racist comments made about a foreign coworker’s accent—remarks that were brought up but consistently dismissed by leadership.
The next manager, a white male, was passive-aggressive toward minority staff, withheld raises, and openly stated he wouldn’t assist on the line because it wasn’t “his job.” Despite poor conduct, he was promoted.
My final manager made inappropriate comments about employees’ appearances and self-worth. It often felt like working in a toxic high school environment rather than a professional setting.
Management lacks diversity and accountability
• Racism and favoritism are real issues
• Raises and recognition are not distributed fairly
• Disrespectful customers and low pay
This company needs serious reflection and change. If you’re a minority or value equity in the workplace, proceed with caution.
