Office politics at my location made for an uncomfortable work environment

Management at the branch level is horrible, they are a terrible resource for your growth with the company. They only care about themselves. My manager was never in the office, would never have the answers to my issues or questions involving the daily tasks. My manager did anything and everything to avoid helping me. Always told me, to “Ask someone else.” During my training, I had a manager called me a derogatory name and the company acted like nothing happened. Also another incident, during my training out in the warehouse, one of the material handlers was drinking beer on his lunch break. This is completely unsafe as this person was operating heavy equipment. Brought to management attention , and nothing was handled. The online training was okay but about 5 years outdated. Most products and ideas I was learning about are not current. Everything is ever changing in this industry and the training did not align with my overall goals to becoming a successful sales rep. They really “throw you to the wolves” and let you figure it out yourself, some of the co-workers are helpful and do more than a managers role to help see other exceed. This is my experience with my branch. Not speaking on a company as a whole just my specific branch.
