Strong policies hindered by poor training and support. Robust policies, well established database systems. Training is focused on outlining policy. Lack of resources for deliverables, new hires are often advised of a deliverable when a manager asks why it is missing or overdue rather than being trained on what is due for the role when.
Overworked Disconnected from leadership Lean teams.
Toxic, Dishonest Management and Questionable Practices. If you value your sanity, integrity, or basic respect as an employee, stay far away from this company. Upper management would tell me one thing behind closed doors (like requiring Saturday work), then completely contradict that in front of employees, making me look incompetent and dishonest. The double standards and manipulation don’t stop there. Leadership is painfully unprofessional. My direct supervisor avoids accountability entirely—no performance reviews, no feedback, no communication. I was written up without valid cause, only to be told the next day that it disqualified me from receiving a retention bonus. It’s hard not to see a pattern of targeting employees to save the company money. This is not just a poorly run company—it’s a toxic environment where employees are set up to fail and leadership operates without transparency or integrity.
