The Most Toxic & Unhealthy Work Environment! RUN!

Anonymous employee

Pros

Pay for certifications. Work from home opportunities.

Cons

I had the worst experience any employee could ever imagine. HR/Training is a nightmare and so awful to work for and usually these are the best and uplifting departments to work for. So very toxic complete with gossiping, back stabbing, step on others, and throwing under the bus work environments. No work life balance. Make a mistake? Better get ready to be blamed and shamed. Do not expect flexibility or to be eased into your job as a new hire. After 6 months, that will expect 100% that you know your job, company, who to contact for what, system, processes, procedures and oh, everything is manually done. Softwares or automation? Not a thing here.
