Poor Management Leads to Favoritism and Burn Out
Pros
In the West End of Greenville which is cute, can take walks to nearby coffee shops.
Cons
- High turn over with limited to 0 training. New people don't know how to perform their job functions which cascades throughout the company, causing frustration and double work. - Poorly managed. Management does not support their employees from fear of the owner. Management also encourages an "us vs. them" mentality to different departments. Coworkers outside of your department are encouraged not to help and often try to pass off work to other departments. - Favoritism. Policies are not applied equitably across the company. Bad employees are protected and good employees are pushed out. - Zero room for human error. It does not matter if you have a 99.99% success rate. If you have a typo or copy/paste something to the wrong location, you will be lectured for weeks. Your job will be threatened, and you will be made to feel like a failure. - Owner of the company regularly screams at his wife in front of the entire company. Will also raise his voice and yell at employees. - Poor communication. Upper management will make decisions without informing the employees. Manager A will tell their department one thing and Manager B will tell their department something else. Upper management will also make decisions about new processes without consulting employees on execution. - No room for improvement. If you bring up a concern to your manager, it will not go any further than your manager. If you bring up your concern to a higher up, then you will be pulled aside and lectured for "going above your managers head". Owner encourages an open office, but if you suggest something he doesn't like, you will get yelled at - Very limited upward mobility. Few opportunities for career advancement. Company does not give cost of living raises. Company steadily increases job responsibilities without pay. - Poorly thought out workflow and processes leads to a lot of double work and frustration. Your work can be completed for a month, but if an employee in a different department or the owner doesn't like it, they will make it an emergency for you on the due date. They will not review anything prior to the due date. - No matter what, sales can undermine your department. Selling and ad deadlines are barely a suggestion. Sales can sell up until the day you go to the printer, causing frantic last minute work in all other departments. - Owner cares more about the appearance of work being done than actual work being done. Every job in that building is completed via the internet, but on multiple occasions had the entire office sitting in office with no internet for 4+ hours because he would rather people be at their desks than completing work.
