    Toxic Leadership SD

    Jan 17, 2023 - Service Manager in San Diego, CA
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    You get paid. You have benefits, 401k with company matching

    Cons

    San Diego has some of the most toxic leadership in Irvine company. Basically Mean girls who promote their friends to maintain their dictatorship. You are all dispensable. They are forcing the most tenured maintenance employees out the door. The properties are struggling because of the “ great ideas” this leadership has. They don’t care about you, your mental health, or you work life balance. This company was great back when Dave cottage and Tony Sclafanni were in charge. Please look for a maintenance job with another company if you are in San Diego. They sell you this wonderful picture at your interview but once you’re in, it’s the complete opposite. The real problem with employee turnover and these properties failing is sitting at the corporate office. If you are a maintenance leader in SD I highly encourage you to help your asm’s, technicians and porters find a job that will truly value them as employees and people. Irvine use to be people first, now all they care about is their inner circle of toxic leadership. There are plenty of open positions in other companies. We all have contacts in other companies! The grass is greener on the other side! What are you waiting for?
