Long work days with little flexibility
zero transparency or two way communication.
Zero opportunity for real growth
employees can feel taken advantage of when promised opportunities never see the light of day.
Constructive feedback is not taken professionally by upper management and employees suffer due to sometimes childish clique behaviour among higher ups.
Do not expect to be given constructive feedback on your work either, even during reviews.
You can put everything into your work until total burn out, but don’t expect recognition from upper management team.
Culture can be toxic.
Departments don’t seem to know what each does.
Very poor organizational skills, planning and efficiency
Have seen/heard very inappropriate comments from upper management.
If you are not a favourite everyone will know, staff can tell if you are not well liked as a person, regardless of your work ethic.
This is a popularity contest.
Expect to work overtime without any added benefit of doing so.
High turnover rate due to poor opportunities and compensation - don’t be fooled by false promises
No HR for employees to advocate to.
Cold dry air and difficult conditions to work in; driveway is not properly maintained and you will see cars in the ditch during the winter, conditions can be unsafe!
Tensions run high due to lack of proper management and undue stress linked to poor communication.
Job security is questionable even if you’re doing a good job.
General feeling that eventually you are pushed out when your skills are above your current role, rather than providing opportunities for growth.
