Exeter Finance is a toxic place to work. The attract talented candidates through deception and false promises. Leadership claims to want to develop employees to a level of skill that would allow them to easily leave, but keep them happy enough to stay. Instead they cripple their effectiveness and dismantle career paths. Employees are asked to take initiative, only to be reprimanded for doing so with out first obtaining permission from management and executive management. Employees are given directives from leadership then reprimanded for following through. Many employees are given zero guidance on what they should be working on, and when they ask for tasks they are told to wait until it's a priority. This goes on for months at a time. When it does become a priority, tasks are given with little to no details of expectations with unreasonable deadlines. When talking to other employees about frustrations at work the root cause always lands at the feet of leadership.
