From an account management/sales team perspective, their best and brightest have all left in the last couple of months. What remains is a group of mediocre people. My work life further deteriorated since these departures began.
If you’re on the revenue team, your thoughts and perspective are not wanted. BlueVine wants you to shut up, put your head down and work. There’s zero opportunity for collaboration. It’s not your responsibility to think big.
The risk department is so protected that when something goes wrong, it’s always the revenue team’s fault. Accountability = 0. In fact, it’s said that one of the people got pushed out because they spoke up on poor accountability. After that, everything here went south. I don’t think BlueVine has hit its target once this year. Each month is missed by a larger and larger window.
There’s almost no professional development. There have been very lazy attempts to create this but the worst part about these attempts was rather than the management caring enough about the development of their people to do it themselves, they hired a 3rd party to come do very surface level generic “training sessions” instead.
It’s so bad here that I’ve been interviewing elsewhere so I can escape the toxic culture of BlueVine. They just do a poor job investing in their people and they often make poor hiring decisions that negatively affect the entire team.
Also the pay is lower than market rate and they know this but they have made a few increases to bring it closer to market rate but it’s still below.
In addition to being responsible for your work, you are required to be responsible for your peers feelings as well.
The CEO is odd. His interactions with people who work for his company are kept to a minimum. He literally has his own office away from the rest of the people in the company. Walls.
Upward mobility = none, especially as an AM/AE. Getting promoted is almost impossible. And once you do finally get promoted, where you really promoted? No. You keep doing the same things. Nothing changes.
