Talent Acquisition “Executive Leadership” team are anything but leaders. They fostered a toxic environment that thrives on gossip and cliques. You can totally tell who the favorites were. The weekly meetings were always a waste of time. Just an excuse for the “leaders” to praise themselves and their favorites.
Poor Communication with leadership and Hiring Managers. It would take a week or two to hear back from them, even after sending multiple emails. There were also a lot of cliques with Hiring Managers and other recruiters, with HM’s going behind your back.
Poor Salaries-Candidates would often turn down job offers, mainly due to the lousy salary and seeing the poor reviews for the company. I had candidates tell me they were being offered $50-$60,000 more at another job, and of course want to go with the higher salary position. This company wants highly experienced people at a below average salary.
No Discounts. Never worked for a company where they don’t offer some kind of discount or credit for their product offerings. Most businesses want employees to be able to shop at the business, and a discount helps encourage that. The employees making little more than minimum wage would never be able to afford much from the site without some kind of discount.
High Turnover-in pretty much all areas of the company, including recruiters. You’d be hard pressed to find an employee that has been here longer than a year or two. I felt so relieved when I left The RealReal and encourage others to look elsewhere for work.
