Bad Corporate Environment to the Extreme - IT Business Analyst Western Alliance Bank Employee Review

Bad benefits. Health insurance was sub-par. HR department immature and unethical in their actions. IT Department was a revolving door of people. Mostly because of the management decisions, and actions. If they didn't like you, which was most, you were terminated. FTE or Contractor. Didn't matter. I worked many hours and was salaried. Told I really didn't put in the extra time. Responsibilities were given that were out of scope with job. Favoritism was rampant. Lots of behaviors that played out like a reality TV show where people are voted off the island so to speak. No work life balance. Organizational goals were in flux daily. Fires always being put out daily and many times could have been avoided. VPs use worker bees as escape goats for their bad decisions. Very cut throat department with people being nice but then later throwing you under the bus. Bad corporate culture to the extreme. VPs don't like being questioned when facts support they are clearly not disseminating the correct information. Unrealistic expectations of employees like business trips that get extended by days at no notice. Trouble getting reimbursement for travel expenses on out state business trips after you paid out of your own pocket. Went on for weeks. Tense work environment. All in all, it started great and I was their biggest supporter then I was slowly treated with no respect and poorly after being so ethical and hard working. Not sure what the environment is in 2016 but in hind sight I could have saved a lot of time and heart ache by skipping this opportunity.
