      Soul crushing workplace

      Business outlook

      Pros

      • Opportunity to work independently due to frequent understaffing. • Fast-paced environment that develops multitasking skills. • Reliable scheduling in the sense that employees can expect consistent workload increases.

      Cons

      • High workload with no additional compensation. • Extended work periods with little to no breaks, sometimes exceeding 20 consecutive days. • Understaffing issues requiring employees to work alone, increasing stress and safety risks. • Limited career growth as promotions are based on personal favoritism rather than performance. • Evaluation criteria based on appearance rather than skills or contributions. • Inconsistent promises regarding pay raises and professional development. • Lack of mental health consideration, with burnout and stress dismissed as non-issues. • Employees are expected to function like machines—opinions and emotions are not welcome.

      Toxic culture

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      You meet great trade clients, if your lucky you will work with a good team but its rare.

      Cons

      No diversity with this company if you are from a different back ground, non binary or not in a heterosexual relationship you will be bullied. Back stabbing, gaslighting, bullying and harassment are all acceptable in this work place and dont expect to get support from anyone. If you go to HR be prepared to have a target on your back. They promote lazy workers and put pressure on the hard working ones. No support from state managers, no matter how hard you work you get made to feel like it's not good enough. You have to suck up in order to get ahead.

      Unhealthy environment

      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Not many good things to talk really.

      Cons

      Everything is driven by profit. There’s no real expectation to provide quality service to clients — the only focus is closing sales. Despite what’s advertised, it’s never about genuinely helping the customer. We’re expected to dedicate 100% of our time to selling, not supporting. As lighting designers, we’re supposed to assist clients with lighting choices and space planning. But in reality, we’re forced to cram five consultations into five hours, leaving no time for proper planning or producing quality materials for the client.
