Do not have any yet!

The paycheck clears. That's about it.

Where do I begin. This company is a masterclass in how NOT to run a business. Management is an absolute disaster, disorganized, disconnected, and completely out of touch with the day-to-day realities of the people doing the actual work. Decisions are made on ego, not strategy, and if you dare to push back with a logical point of view, you will be sidelined. The hiring process for management is a joke. There is zero vetting of new leaders brought in from the outside. People are dropped into senior roles with no relevant experience on managing business let alone PEOPLE! The result is a trickle-down chaos that the rest of the team is left to clean up quietly, without recognition or compensation. Speaking of compensation don't expect a raise. Ever!!!!! You can exceed every target, go above and beyond for years, and watch your salary flatline while the cost of living in New York climbs. When you raise the issue, you're met with vague promises & non answers. Meanwhile, loyalty means nothing here. The lack of diversity is glaring and deeply uncomfortable. There is no meaningful effort to build an inclusive environment not in hiring, not in promotion, not in culture! Mentorship is nonexistent. If you are early in your career and hoping to learn and grow, look elsewhere. Senior leaders are too busy protecting their own positions to invest in the people below them. There is no structured development, no sponsorship, and no pathway to advancement. And that brings me to the biggest issue this company openly rewards yes people. Employees with little to no experience who simply nod along and validate bad decisions are fast-tracked into management. Meanwhile, high performers who bring real expertise, challenge the status quo, and drive results are passed over, overlooked, and eventually pushed out. capability is a threat here, compliance is a currency.
