Disappointed with treatment would not recommend

Social Media Coordinator

Former Employee, more than 1 year

X Recommend

O CEO Approval

X Business Outlook

Pros

a lot of talented people

employee bonding activities

Cons

No proper/or explained HR system.

Sexist remarks, coded language, and harassment were common place.

Inappropriate actions, comments, and discussions frequently occurred.

Including discussion about employees bodies, appearance, clothes, and wealth.

Upper/middle management frequently misuse power.

No way to report most incidents without issue, since the HR team was ALSO upper management.

Feedback was consistently harsh and not constructive.

Inappropriate language was commonly used while giving feedback.

Meetings with unbalanced power dynamics were common place.

Gaslighting situations frequently occurred.

Unbiased 3rd parties were never present, or easily able to be requested in these meetings.

Lack of proper communication between management and employees.

Outside ventures frequently frowned upon, or limited by the company.

Advice to Management

Stop dismissing complaints because "everyone is friends here" it's a workplace, not a group hangout session.

Get a proper HR team and take reports of harassment and inappropriate conduct seriously.

Don't dismiss employees complaints.
