-Insane hours
-Backstabbing was highly encouraged. Instead of peer-to-peer discussions, employees were incentivized to report any issue to the manager of the coworker with whom they did not agree. This created an atmosphere of mistrust and defensiveness instead of collaboration.
-Unattainable goals: every employee at this level was given the same sales goal regardless of what their assigned book of clients was comprised of. Some people had "cash cow" accounts and would make their sales numbers without doing any work whatsoever. Others were given client books which had no upside and yet they had the same sales goal.
-Annual performance reviews were a joke: the evaluation had criteria of "Does not meet", "partially meets", "mostly meets", "meets" and "exceeds". A person could hit 99% of their sales goal and was automatically assigned "Does not meet". Yeah, that's fair. NOPE!
