Started with great ideals, completely corrupt in execution

Pros

I worked in part-time staff and admin roles and as a full time store staff muddy over my time with the company. Only pros these days: -Staff discount -Nicely done stores in terms of physical structure, for the most part

Cons

Mud Bay was started with wonderful ideals to be one of the best companies in the world, to treat it’s employees with an above and beyond level of care and respect, and to set an example for other companies to follow. Sadly they have thrown their ethics out the window in favor of control and money. Major cons: -managers that don’t listen to staff, take no constructive criticism, and can never be wrong -HR that used to care is now run be a former employee of a major chain corporation and it shows. There is no respect for the individual and no attempts to actually rectify problems but rather to sweep them under the rug and punish those that speak out. -hugely punitive policies have been implemented in regards to attendance, so-called “coaching”, and anyone that has an opinion that challenges the company leaders to do better. -the best people in the company at all levels have steadily been forced out or are opting to leave. -understaffing across the board in store locations while pushing staff to do more and be more attentive to customers. -a company culture so averse to conflict that they fail to resolve anything.
