Toxic culture, high turnover - Account Manager Lumen Employee Review

Pros

Remote work available for employees

Cons

Toxic micro-managers actively look for any reason to harass. Could be as small as pulling up an email/call and dissecting it word for word. Broken internal processes lead to low customer obsession, poor or no follow through, and incredible lead times on quoting, billing, installation, etc. Leadership just repeats accountability but have yet to see any. Motivation tactics are essentially telling you if your not at quota you will be fired on a weekly basis.

Pros

work life balance, excellent time off so long as manager doesn’t micromanage/track and limit FTO, nice people, leadership has turned the business around.

Cons

No pay raises even with great performance review (5years with zero raise) No career growth/progression - been on a high-performing team for 5 years and not one person on the team has been progressed or promoted during that time. Little opportunity for career advancement and growth New jobs within the company are going to external hires, not much grwoth for current employees
