Pinnacle Recovery reviews

Pay is low for San Diego

To be honest, I should have left on my first day. It’s a cube farm regardless of your position in the company; so while I was expecting to carry out my role of doing payroll and handling confidential company financial info in a private office, I was regularly trying to conceal my work from coworkers with less access, in a cubicle. Not ideal. I stuck it out; and then continued my role during the pandemic as I could WFH, and could breathe when working on confidential information. Micromanaging every second of the day, upper management has an “open door policy” but that only applies if you have access to secured areas of the building. Poor communication between departments, and no transparency in pay or job expectations. Horrible people management during the WFH part of the pandemic, and little to no oversite of supervisors with clear favoritism. This job gave me valuable insight into the industry, however the job itself was structured in a way that I was doing the jobs of my supervisor and several coworkers without support or recognition. My experience led to a complete burn out on accounting as a whole. As an employee. It was clear the upper management had no interest in the role I played, or even how much of my bosses job I was doing. It was never clear what my immediate supervisor did, just that they were “busy”, and often left review of my work to the day financials were due, despite me finishing the work long before the deadline. It often felt like my supervisor was looking for a “gotcha” for small mistakes, to make excuses for their poor leadership and lack of accountability. I was encouraged not to speak directly with the CEO, instead manage everything through my supervisor. This was especially troubling when I had serious concerns during COVID, and was told I could work in a cubicle in another department, despite the amount of confidential and sensitive information I worked with on a daily basis to handle banking transactions and payroll. Prior to officially leaving, I was suffering a medical condition during which the company did the minimum possible to support me, and did not communicate with me, despite my attempts to keep them in the loop. The chefs kiss of this disaster of a job was being terminated with no notice at the end of my FMLA, BY MAIL. Literally mailed a certified letter to my house. After 3 years of service. And honestly- receiving that letter set me free. The building is locked down like a minimum security prison, and if you work there long enough, you might even get to see the dread of someone being absolutely annihilated by the CEO themselves, or a direct supervisor for a minor mistake or oversight.
