Boardwalk Reviews

Boardwalk was once a great company but over the last few years it has become the most toxic environment I have ever work at. It is now a true dictatorship and a place where nepotism is rampant. If you are in the inner circle you are fine but everyone else spends their time walking on eggshells, afraid to say or do anything that would bring attention to themselves or their team. The best way to be sucessful here is to leave your passion and knowledge at the door as it is not needed nor wanted. You quickly understand that yes is the only thing they want to hear from you - your expertise, creativity and inovations are unwelcome. You are treated like a number not a human being anymore and you are expendable despite the smokescreen of catchphases like boardwalk family forever, love always, golden rules etc that they hide behind.

Over the past 3 years this company has changed a lot for the worse. Directors and Area Coordinators are treating Boardwalk as a playground to line their own pockets. Some employees are exempt from working during their shifts, they are basically doing nothing at work because they work after hours for Directors and Area Coordinators as cleaners, landscapers and nannies. Special positions are created just so that Directors’ family members and friends can be hired on. Some of these hires have zero experience but brag to their staff that they are untouchable because of their relations. Human Resources is a joke. They are not here to help employees, but to look for gossip. Area Coordinators often tell employees they are not allowed to contact HR at all. When one employee complained about violence, she was asked how hard she was hit. Does this mean that if she wasn't bleeding, it was ok? They are not following their own policy of zero tolerance of violence in the workplace. Most people just clock in and clock out, doing bare minimum because they lost all respect and motivation.
