Top Brand Tainted by Toxic Leadership - Marketing Manager Chewy Employee Review

Joining Chewy was one of my biggest career regrets. I regularly experienced situations that felt like microaggressions: I was sometimes excluded from key reviews, my ideas and strategies were not consistently acknowledged or appreciated, and on multiple occasions, I’ve had concepts I ideated taken on by other team members, and I received little to no credit for developing the framework and critical requirements of the project in the first place. My contributions often seemed to be overlooked. I noticed instances where leadership did not always meet commitments, information sharing was inconsistent, and unnecessary micromanagement often hindered project progress. I’ve observed multiple instances in which a lack of ownership and accountability at the leadership level led to delayed decisions, ultimately slowing progress and preventing projects from launching on time. In several cases, leaders did not act on project updates requiring their approval, waiting until the last minute and creating avoidable delays that directly impacted the success of my work.
