Negative, unprofessional leadership - Anonymous employee Thrive Causemetics Employee Review

I was extremely disappointed in my time at Thrive Causemetics. I wanted to feel like I was working for a company with a cause but it quickly became obvious that they use their "values" as a marketing gimmick while not actually possessing any of those values at all. Toxic leadership: Leadership starts at the top and unfortunately people at the top of this company are extremely negative. They only seek you out with complaints or to discipline a team for not meeting goals that were never communicated to that team in the first place. The company is an absolute mess when it comes to process, structure and organization. Cross-team collaborative processes were never determined by leadership so employees are left to organize the mess on their own and then are fired or threatened to be fired before they are given adequate time to resolve these issues. The issues then remain and they hire new people to solve the problems and on the cycle goes. -CEO is more interested in becoming an "influencer" than with the company's well-being. Makes decisions based on emotion rather than logic. -I have never encountered HR so unprofessional as Thrive. Extremely rude, condescending and emotional. Most people don't feel comfortable going to HR with any issues at fear of being turned on. Nepotism: CEO has staffed family in high positions at the company and the family makes decisions without visibility for the rest of the team. Lack of adequate staff: all teams are understaffed and employees are burnt out. Plus the PTO policy is limited, 10 days accruing so you can't take time off to recharge which leads to employees feeling overworked, overwhelmed, frustrated and undervalued. Lack of transparency: goals aren't communicated clearly and progress isn't tracked. I never had a performance review the entire year that I worked there. Lack of values: Company pretends to care by hiding behind values that "help women thrive" but they don't treat the women at their own company with that respect.
