If I could give a rating lower than a single star, I would. This place is absymal.
People leave and are not replaced which means the people who are sadly still employed, are left to cleanup and carry-on. This includes the multitude of temps, who are trained and eventually let go and not replaced by full-time employees.
Regular work hours are out of the question.
You will not be paid overtime.
They promote people who have no merit in being promoted.
They employ people who are clearly incapable of doing the most simplest tasks and refuse to fire because "we haven't given him/her enough chances" and eventually dump their messes and the original work onto people who do not have the time to complete the tasks.
Personal life? You don't deserve one according to Sylvan Corporate.
Get ready to be reprimanded for failed work that you had no part in or had no idea about because well, you're a part of the group.
Their answer to boosting morale is to have events during work hours. The events are adequate, but choosing to have them during work hours when work is stockpiling by the second is asinine. Not to mention, these outings are mandatory. If you do not plan on attending on account of doing work or going home to see your family who incidentally do not remember who you are, expect a reprimand.
Expect to feel angry and jilted when review time rolls around. Management has no idea what you are doing because they themselves are up to their necks in work. You can write a glittering self-review and not have it refuted because nobody knows what you do.
I would not bother bringing up concerns or questions about the system - these will most definitely fall on deaf ears. I can guarantee nothing will be done to ease your pain, but you'll hear an earful of great potential things to come (that will never happen in your lifetime)!
I've been written-off as a disgruntled employee; I am far from that. This was not my first job. I wore many hats while employed there and successfully accomplished all the tasks handed to me and far exceeded what I was initially hired to do. If anything, I was an employee who tolerated the abuse until I had my epiphany and realized that I am worth far more than what they cornered me into believing. Take heed, look elsewhere if you're an experienced professional.
