Cons
Poor leadership, Very unorganized department, Poor training and a tendency to finger-point and blame versus actually assessing processes currently in place or helping those who need it, Abysmal communication, Hypocrisy in the form of pointing out mistakes that leadership also makes (despite having years of experience at the company) FOR TRANSPARENCY: My passion for the company declined significantly after receiving a written Performance Improvement Plan. I was blindsided. There was little communication with my Supervisor ahead of this. Aside from this, I took exception to a 24-month probationary period that was indicated on the plan (at the time I had only been with the company for less than 4 months). I shared my concerns with my Supervisor who explained to me this was standard. I also shared my concerns with an HR representative who told me the same thing. I pulled the PIP template to verify and this was not in fact standard. For whatever reason, I was lied to and they ended up removing that language in the end. At best, this was not a malicious act but disregard for an employee concern or even a lazy attitude to conducting independent research. At worst, it was an effort to push out an employee without any attempt to further train or help them. Neither of these scenarios place the team in a positive light.
