BenefitMall Employee Reviews about "management"

Cons

The potential for career growth can be limited in some areas.

Cons

1. Leadership is non existent. Sr management is more concerned with their future stock payout and making reservation at Oceanair for 'executive dinners' 2. Poor products. All of their products, ex a recently launched benefits tool, is a joke. There are so many bugs in the products. And what is being released is 2 years behind the competition. Pay and benefits - they pay well below market and their benefits, while slightly improved for 2015, are a joke. Cross functional support - basically, each group hates the other group. Go to market. Every launch is another train wreck. There was a focus for a few months last year to change how they went to market and bring in some new external people to help. The company couldn't deal with change and reverted back to their old, poor, yet comfortable ways of launching programs. Turnover. The dept I was in has had enormous turnover in the last year or so. They have no plan in place to manage turnover. Infact, managers pretty much talk with employees on how to leave and will even send you Job leads Sr mgmt changes. The CFO recently became president. Communication stopped. He won't listen to ideas. He will listen to problems but then makes it your problem. He says one thing and then communicates something completely different to other executives causing confusion and basically sets a group (or you) for failure.

Cons

1. Hard to work for a manager who is in it for themselves. Hard to work for a dumb manager and a manager that doesn't listen or care what good of a job you've done. Only looks at the small errors you make 5% of the time. 2. Poor poor communication. Most of what is said verbally is wrong but it's your word against your manager's and the manager always wins. Noone ever checks with the worker bees to get their side or opinions. 3. Work is passed down to us and the manager gets alllllllllllll the credit as if they did the work. Brags about how she even did the research and found the problem when she couldn't even tell you what the problem was in the first place. 4. Manager just lies lies lies lies lies and never takes up for her department on anything. 5. Manager always ready to point the finger at someone else when it's really her error or her bad instructions. 6. People hired to do one thing (high level) to end up doing data entry and nothing close to what our degree is. 7. Upper management stays on their side of the building so they have no clue what or how we are all suffering. Never see how we are working our butt off while our manager is out running errands for 2 hours or on personal calls all day. 8. I could go on and on and on but I think yall get my point.

Cons

Management seems detached and aloof. Technology is outdated.

Cons

This is the most dysfuntional company I have ever seen. I am not exaggerating here. The management lacks vision, direction and accountability. They flip-flop frequently on ideas, projects, decision costing the company a great deal of money, resources and human talent. Employees are frequently subject to attend meetings with upper management where insults and disrespectful body language among themselves are the norm. One on One sessions must be initiated by the employees otherwise you have no interaction with your manager, and if you get a chance to meet with your manager it becomes a 'what have you done for me lately to make me look good'session. Management thinks very highly of themselves while unavailable to back it up as nothing gets accomplished there. The facilities are disgusting. Breakrooms are filty, roaches are found running around in all areas including bathrooms, offices and cubicles.

Cons

One person did not like me and decided to build an army against me. I worked hard there but unfortunately it did not matter. Management was friends with the bully and did not acknowledge the problem even when it was brought to their attention. They continually allowed the bully to do or say whatever they pleased. No consequences.

Cons

The benefit package is okay. It isn't terrible, but it isn't the best. I was a bit used to my previous employer that included naturalistic and chiropractic and such as regular preventative. But I haven't had an issues with my current benefits.

Cons

EVERYTHING. No training, no support from management, higher management highly incompetent (most do not know what their employees do, and aren't interested in learning) and so out of touch. If you happen to be friends with management, you're coddled and protected, otherwise you are left floating always in fear of loosing your job. Lots and lots of back biting by the favored ones while management looks the other way. STRESS, STRESS AND MORE STRESS. By far the very worst job I ever had.
