-Lack of diversity
-No regard for work life balance. God forbid you have kids and a family at home that you would like to spend time with
-Leadership was a revolving door
-5 different CEOs during the 8.5 years I was there
-My department changed management so often, can’t even remember how many there were
-Every time there was a new manager, there was a new direction
-I redid the same project over and over like every year
-Too many people from abroad given leadership roles and other roles that could be filled by Americans (who probably would do a much better job)
-They kept trying to force us to operate the company like they do in Germany which obviously makes no sense whatsoever
-Systems were outdated and hosted in Germany - a hot mess
-Everything that we did had to be approved by the “International” HQ in Germany
-They made so many poor decisions, which is crazy when you consider how long they’ve been around (leading to the closing of several stores)
-To insult an injury, they literally lied to us about how well the company was doing at the end of 2022 and then laid off 200 employees 2 months later
-People were quitting left and right and instead of doing something about it, they would just dump the work on the remaining employees
