A sad place to work - Anonymous employee Veritiss Employee Review

Unfortunately, as hard as I try, I sincerely can not think of a single positive to share. I am not in the general business of bashing people or bothering to write any negative reviews, but for the sake of hopefully saving someone else from making as big of a mistake as I made in deciding to work here, I feel like I had to write something. If you are reading this, please take all the reviews into consideration. The short time i spent at this company was nothing short of a nightmare. The turnover is the craziest I have ever seen in 20 years of working in the government contracting industry. Despite what a recent review implied, this turnover was mostly voluntary as the working environment was so horrible. Not since childhood have I ever witnessed such deplorable and childish behavior towards others, and not since childhood have I ever witnessed such utter lack of self-awareness. Personal issues and employees private lives are exactly that, private. Yet the CEO would gossip for hours a day telling stories (and usually out right lies) about former and current employees. She would divulge very private information about individuals that had no business being talked about in a business setting. This behavior on her part was always excused for one reason or another and she would place blame for turnover and any and all business issues on said former or current employees that she would choose to be the target of the day. I could go on, but I think the other reviews should give you a clear picture of the type of work environment you would experience here. Aside from all of this however is the utter lack of real business acumen and crazed work flow. Working weekends was not only a normal occurance but it was expected. This generally had to occur b/c there was no real leadership or organization taking place, so things were always left to the last minute and chaotic. Work/Life balance is unheard of here and highly discouraged. It's nothing more than a term to repeat to appear that the company is current with modern working environments. There is no work from home, there is no flex schedule and late nights and weekends are expected. The phone system is from the 1980's and the computer systems and associated policies aren't much newer than that.
