Elevate Credit Reviews

Backstabbing culture - people steal work and presents as their own Favoritism towards males - specifically Caucasian across all teams Promotion based on popularity NOT merit CEO thinks diversity is having white women in leadership positions...SMH. Very clickish People don’t lead, they delegate Profit is #1, not the people Blame culture Executives lack bandwidth - look at stock $ Very corrupt work environment - don’t tell the truth and maybe they won’t find out... Bad leaders develop bad managers that are unfit. Dated mentality of leadership and success

So many, but I'll attempt to boil it down to the worst ones: - Ethics - the core values are a joke. They did "think big" and push to "raise the bar." But to a fault. Goals were unrealistic leading to stressful situations, frequent firings, and unnecessary undermining of co-workers. But "do the right thing"? This company loans money at 300% to people for 5 years and many of the people who take the loans default. I would quote the appalling default rate, but it could be interpreted as a review violation. Just bust out a quick spreadsheet in excel and observe what it is like to be on the receiving end of one of those loans. They shouldn't even have "do the right thing" as a core value...it's not who they will ever be, nor does their product set out to be that way. Given your default rate, most of your customers are not "Good today, better tomorrow" after taking a loan with the high apr offered. And "win together" - co-workers were constantly undermining one another. I've never seen this at such a level and it was sad. Even after reporting these incidents to management and HR, the company promoted the offenders. - Management - the poorest I've ever seen. Micro-management, favoritism, lack of ability, lack of ethics....you name it, most managers were horrifically bad at many of these items. I couldn't tell if it all stems from the top, but the managers are pressured to hit unrealistic targets. They are given a lot of financial resources though. - Expectations - I personally think a lot of the negative experiences are from expectations. The company pitches itself as this saint in a sea of predatory lenders. They tell you they have these amazing values that guide their decisions. And when I was hired, management led me to believe they were a stable department and I would learn the business. It was nothing at all like any of that.
