It was great in the beginning, I loved my job. Thought I would be there a long time. There was a shift in upper management which resulted in a shift in focus and priorities and everything that made them unique and wonderful was gone. They modeled their labor relations like the worst in that category
What are some of the best things about your team?
All my co-workers were so nice, and kind. Just trying to survive the culture and so helpful. Everyone's in it together and have bonded as victims of a bad work atmosphere with an amazing ability to hang on.
What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?
It was founded on a giving, caring, make the world a better place premise. The products are really good. It was unscripted which let you put your own personality into exchanges. Loved the hours. The pay was so-so but acceptable.
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Interview process was fine. It was not unpleasant or difficult but deceptive because Grove put on this Corporation B facade-they care about the world, the people the environment they claim. Yet their practices tell a very different story. Their employment practices as well as business practices.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
The culture changed, most managers I had left, Director of Operations left and it became a company that didn't give a hoot about its employees. It fostered a revolving door /assembly line atmosphere. No one had time to train, answer questions, or even know your name. They emailed your evaluations.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
Undervalued is just the tip of the iceberg. Compensation is not the issue. Its the focus, the mission, whats now important. People are more than numbers and are not robots. Make the metrics no matter WHAT you have to do and quit talking to customers so much is not what employees should be hearing.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
This company turned into an assembly line culture with a revolving door. Lower wages, get rid of those who made a higher wages, value metrics of quantity over quality. They need to get better at their employee relations and the negative turn it took about 9 months ago. Its a very toxic place 2 work.
