Bad Roller Coaster Ride - Talent Acquisition Specialist Switchgear Search and Recruiting Employee Review

Unethical, manipulative leadership. Disorganized, confusing, and a lot of gray areas. No transparency. I have no idea what direction the company is headed in, and once I think I do, it changes. Most of the time, it feels like there is some big secret being kept. Very little training, the training that does exist is very elementary and non-engaging. Impulsive decisions made by leadership. Constant upheaval, policy and structure changes, just when you start to get the hang of it, they restructure or reformat, and you're expected to adapt, no questions asked. This happens about once a month. Ever increasing expectations. You are degraded and told in meetings that the competition is kicking your butt and the work you have done is laughable. In the past few months, the expectations have increased several times, and in some categories have even doubled. Toxic environment encouraged by leadership. Competition is great, but here, employees are put into awkward situations, where they have to choose between getting ahead, or having a good relationship with their teammates. Cutthroat behavior is encouraged and rewarded. Constant fear for your job. You are reassured that nothing will change and people's jobs are not in jeopardy, and a week later they are restructuring departments and firing people. Most recently, they have "let go" of 7 people out of a Direct Hire team made up of 10 total. This is partly to make room for the new COO to bring on people that he knows personally. This is all a result of the CEO's frequently evolving ideals about how the company should be run. Originally we were founded on the principal of quality versus quantity and now, the only focus is quantity. The new formula is: X number of people at desks = X amount of profit. There is no regard for the people that helped Switchgear get to where it is today, and they don’t think twice about discarding those people when they no longer fit into the new company model (which changes frequently).
