Disappointing Experience Due to Lack of Leadership Integrity - Avis employé Account Executive Smartrr

Had a lot of fun.

The kitchen fell apart one time.

There are some extraordinary people at this company in the lower levels. The office is nice and there are some fun perks/team bonding activities. Pay/benefits were pretty great too, and work/life balance was solid.

I don't really know where to begin. A somewhat unstable environment is not all that surprising at a start-up, but this quickly became pretty toxic. There's a lack of transparency in general regarding role clarity and hierarchy, manipulation through unrealistic metrics is frequently used to intimidate/threaten employees, and senior leadership blatantly plays favorites and regularly gossips about/badmouths other employees. Turnover is also super high for such a small company. By the end of my time there, I was in a constant state of paranoia and anxiety. There are ways to have a good work life in certain departments, so long as you're pretty removed from leadership and you're generally well-liked by the important people, but I strongly advise you to proceed with caution. I wish there had been a Glassdoor when I took this role because I wouldn't have.
