These individuals make every decision for themselves, take ample time and vacation, and treat coworkers as disposable and temporary. | Comparably

I dread going into work every day. I can't speak for the entire company, but my location is a boy's club, run by 2-3 men of varying levels in the company. These individuals make every decision for themselves, take ample time and vacation, and treat coworkers as disposable and temporary.

What would you improve about your company's interview process?

They asked me nearly nothing about my qualifications, and hired me on the spot. At this point I believe that is the only way to keep enough employees on hand; hire everyone and see who tolerates leadership.

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Leading. The concept of supervisors and managers being allowed to manage without any leadership, sensitivity, or other training is detrimental to the environment, and damaging to the culture. Our turnover rate is unbelievably high, and at 5 months with the company I am one of the longest-employed.

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

With the exception of a handful of staff, almost everyone is a more recent addition to the company. The poor habits and treatment from the management and leadership side is negligent to the point of harm, and no good behaviors are being created or enforced. We have no cohesion, and no synergy.

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

Leadership. I cannot stress this enough. I have been a manager in retail, restaurant, and other settings (if there's a way to prove this to you I am happy to), and the number one reason employees leave is due to management. I have watched 7 people quit same-day because of poor situational handling.

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

After nearly 6 months with the company, my manager still doesn't remember my name every day, and I have not received my name tag. I have no freedom, and am treated like cattle instead of like a person. The air reeks of chauvinism, and the leadership team cares little, if at all, about their staff.
