Unprofessional leadership leads to a toxic work environment

Talent acquisition specialist

Pros

There were no pros at this job. The leadership is unprofessional. You will be working odd hours, there will be disrespectful interactions and lack of organization. The pay is nowhere near worth the mental anguish. They go through human resources staff faster than any other company I have ever known or worked for in my 15 year career. Completely unprofessional AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Cons

Overworked and unappreciated staff. Leadership is unprofessional and extremely disorganized. Almost every employee is stressed and

People are great, pay is low

Merchandiser

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

What I loved about this job is getting full ownership over my part of the business, and I know a lot of people stick around because they feel a similar passion and ownership. Even though the company is 25 years old, there are still many areas where a much work is needed and therefore great opportunity for new people to come in and make big impact.

Cons

No flexibility for employees to work from home when needed, and terrible PTO package. The family leadership is not transparent, makes questionable business decisions.
