The further you go in the company you realize it’s not all that it’s cracked up to be. Everyone is over worked and under paid. They talk about work life balance and when confronted about it the President, Jim, will say it’s up to your team leader to reduce the workload or my favorite “you shouldn’t feel like you can’t leave and if you feel that way then you need to bring it up” but when you do nothing is done about it. The same people get tapped on the shoulder over and over. For the last 10 years they’ve said they will fix it and they haven’t. They’ve recently lost a lot of good people due to their poor leadership and poor pay. They say they promote from within however the entire leadership team has been hired from the outside. It took them 29 years to hire the first female leadership team member. They allowed two great female team members to leave because they wouldn’t pay them what they were worth and they wouldn’t promote them because they were female. Everyone knows they HAD to hire the female LT member to look good. Also the LT has a lot wrong with them. At a non work function a member of the LT was trying to take a picture up one of the female employees skirts. They often make sexual and inappropriate comments. They are a ‘good ol boys club’. Recently a few of the female employees tried to get maternity leave benefits and was told by an LT member that women don’t need maternity leave it’s not that hard to have a baby and that’s why we have disability. 60% of pay is enough when they aren’t contributing to the bottom line. when approached about going back to school to get their masters degree an LT member asked the team member how she was going to go back to school when she needed to take care of her kids. There is so much more that I could say that is going on that not everyone knows about. They use their culture as a crutch to hide the disgusting behavior of the LT team. I am actively looking for a new job because of this stuff and hope to be out of here soon. Don’t work here or be fooled by the fake culture. It’s just smoke in mirrors.
