Toxic Work Environment - Anonymous employee Alden Torch Financial Employee Review

Flexible company, and interesting accounting , not your everyday bookkeeping

The company as a whole, Could have better communication

None, previously a lot of highly intelligent people worked here and genuinely cared. However, since 2016 the company has deteriorated into a culture of fear where there is no collaboration.

The culture is run off of fear, anyone who asks questions or pushes back is either fired or pushed out over time. The annual raises (regardless of competency, work ethic, production) are below cost of living increases for Denver, where the company is located. Anyone who shows a desire to create more efficient or better processes is given more work without any additional financial compensation. The HR department is an arm of the CEO who will take your concerns directly to upper management which will eventually lead to dismissal. I’m genuinely convinced that this is the worst company in the state of Denver. Leaving the company was the equivalent of leaving an abusive relationship or prison. They do not treat their employees like adults. Upper management and HR openly gossip about employees who leave the company or are fired with no regard to the personal relationships current employees have with those people. On top of that the CEO has an intense anger problem and runs the office like a Harvey Weinstein clone in the 1940’s.
