Pay- never made enough to support a family. Never got a raise even though I was an over performer for the majority of the decade I was there. Instead, I was threatened with PIPs when I stopped over performing and just did the job I was getting paid to do.
Career advancement- does not exist
Live in a constant state of fear- your job is never safe unless you are a handful of people.
“Leadership”- money hungry idiots who want all the money and couldn’t care less for the people who actually make it for them.
Forcing of positive ratings in quarterly company ratings- it’s supposed to be an anonymous survey. But they always know who didn’t give them perfect scores. And it always affected you negatively in your annual review. So if you stood any chance in getting a decent annual review, you give them perfect marks in every review you submit about the company. But don’t worry too much if you don’t get a good review, it’s not like you were getting a raise if you got a good review. To put it in perspective… I got the highest review possible in an annual review (which is extremely hard to do) and received a pay increase that resulted in an extra $1,300 a YEAR.
