If you value your mental health and family, look elsewhere - Anonymous employee Blackhawk Network Employee Review

Avoid this place at all cost! If you value your mental health and family, look elsewhere. The FP&A department is unprofessional, toxic, disorganized and unstructured. A new management in Finance has no experience on being a leader. The employee turnover is unusually high. Good employees leave in a hurry while the bad ones linger. New employees are expected to run independently on week one. There’re little trainings and directions. If your manager offers training, then you’re the lucky one. But don’t expect this good manager to stay long. The amount of redundancy, manual works and missing information are off the chart. Company has no good processes and procedures. Everything is ad-hoc and due today. We redo and reanalyze one subject over and over again, oftentimes not knowing what the end goal is. Company is cutting expenses in the wrong places, laying off necessary workforce and piling up on directors and VPs who cost 3-4x higher that people they just laid off. With the shrinking workforce, staffs are subjected to long working hours, often more than 12 hours a day, expected to attend meetings, answer emails, IMs, phone calls at ungodly hours. All the abuse for a minuscule amount of pay and merit. No wonder Finance department is a constant revolving door. Unlimited PTO policy has become unattainable PTO policy. This one sucks. Thanks to the policy, I didn’t get to cash out my PTOs
