This was the most toxic company I’ve ever worked for. My manager was recently hired and went out of her way to tear me down from day one of her onboarding. She was not only a bully to myself and my team but she went out of her way to bring my growth to a standstill, refusing to let me move into other positions in the company. In the 5 or 6 months I worked under her, we had maybe 2-3 one on ones. When I needed help, training, coaching, anything, she was unavailable. She was frequently offline for most of her days and would push any and all work she ever had to do onto others on the team.
Our team meetings were never about work but her own personal life and dramas. When feed back or ideas were brought up by anyone on the team, they were not only shot down but ridiculed. Leadership has been known for hiring their friends into other management roles with no repercussions.
They purchased an auto dialing software and require you to make 6 hours of outbound calling a week. If you took breaks or didn’t hit their quota you were berated and meant to feel worthless for not being aggressive enough. Not getting meetings or getting hung up on was just an excuse to all of management.
This was not the job I signed up for and none of the promises made by leadership or the recruiter in my interview through my onboarding were followed through with. Forget about stock options they promise after working 6 months. I never got them. The extra contests for the sales teams were also not paid out. I was promised an additional $300 for self generated opportunities for the company, didn’t see the money even after two months of asking.
Higher up leadership has no idea what they’re doing. They’re throwing money around and hoping it sticks to help them bring in more leads. It’s not working. There is no official training personnel for new hires. They’re left to fend for themselves and myself and other senior teammates pick up the slack and train them ourselves. Management will tell you to ask someone else when you need help or have questions.
There is no culture. They don’t follow their FORTE values they try to make you believe in and executive leadership should be absolutely ashamed. When I put in my two weeks, a colleague also put his in the same day. I was told I would be let go the next day to not work through my two weeks. And my male coworker was allowed to work his. Sexism, favoritism, and nepotism is all you will find if you work here.
