C-leveled Reviews

I was hired for what could have been 2-3 jobs, one of which I was experienced in. The other(s) I was not, and the hiring manager was aware. In the interview, she confirmed there would be training, so I was excited to learn a new role. My first month was during a time where several team members in my dept. were on vacation, since it was summer, which I can understand. But when they came back, no one ever trained me and expected me to know and understand the new role(s) immediately. Not only that, but management would talk behind my back as if we were in highschool mean girls edition about how terrible I was, which I later learned from one of the few friends I made there. I was naive at this point in my career, only having 2 jobs prior. If I had this same experience today, I would have handled it much differently than allowing my direct manager and the owner to basically bully me like immature children in a school yard. I would have taken the initiative to speak up and make them define my role and tell me the items I needed to complete to be successful, which they never defined or even attempted to give constructive feedback to me directly on to allow for improvement. They only told others what I was doing wrong or not doing which is completely counterintuitive. After about 2 months, they told me I could do the one position I had experience in, but had to take down my salary, which was already extremely low for the industry and position. After about another month or two of this, they decided they didn’t want me in that role either and/or couldn’t pay me, so they laid me off. There were weeks where we didn’t have enough hours to allocate for the work we were doing, due to low customer count, so I couldn’t even add hours on a project without being yelled at for going over. The weird part was that the amount of hours we were supposed to be working on projects was never defined either. So there was no way of knowing how much time we even should be spending or logging on client projects. It was extremely disorganized, yet we were to blame for their inadequacy and aggressively reprimanded. When I was laid off, I had clients contact me after being let go and ask what happened and if they could work with me directly instead of with C-Leveled. So, after all that, the clients themselves actually provided positive feedback and references for my work. I am so glad I do not work here any longer and I would recommend you do not either. After taking on a new position at my current company and seeing how a positive work environment fosters incredible team building and growth, I understand so much more clearly now why this position was a failure. Side note: They also filed bankruptcy due to one of the partners suing them.

Meeting client deadlines and expectations can get a bit stressful at times.
