What was once my dream job turned into a nightmare
Pros
Time off Flexible schedule The people on my team
Cons
I hope I don’t reach the maximum amount of characters listing the cons. When I first applied and accepted my position at OnDeck I thought this was my dream job and I was in this for the long run. That died quickly as soon as management made the decision to have two rounds of massive layoffs followed by a high turnover rate. Departments are thinned out and are taking on triple the work with the same pay. There’s no urgency to fill positions. There’s only so much we can take before we jump ship. They’re not doing much to retain the 5% talent that’s left. Everyone else including management is clueless and does the bare minimum. The best part is receiving a link to fill out a survey as if that’s gonna help boost morale and change how management operates. OnDeck has hit an iceberg and is slowly sinking. They had a chance to recover from the layoffs but forgot about taking care of the people in house. Focusing on profitability instead of its employees is what got OnDeck to this point. It’s time to close up shop and move on who are you fooling. I’m no longer motivated and well on my way out the door.
