A Process That Doesn't Work - Sales and Marketing Assistant Hayward Miller Employee Review

Some nice people to work with.

Sexism, favoritism, if you are a man you'll probably do well here and get promoted. Gossip gossip gossip, the men in management here all complain about their partners and other staff. They do a lot of talking...not a lot of doing work.

Great colleagues. But they all left while I was there. All 16 of them.

The atmosphere in the office is horrendous. It is tense all the time. Constantly feel like you are being overwatched and monitored on everything you do. Micromanagement is at the core of their business, like things done their way and won’t change, even when the business is paying for it by losing clients. Don’t listen to advice on how to adapt as they don’t want to as ‘it’s the way we have always done it’. It doesn’t work anymore. Outdated procedures and methods. Try to teach you to be pushy salespeople. ‘A no isn’t a no. Try again in a few weeks’. No career progression prospects. Even if you express interest in another department, they will string you along and make you think they will let you try something new, and it never happens. Managers talk about employees behind their backs. Are confrontational. Don’t follow processes that they drill into us. They don’t follow it and it’s apparently fine. Employees don’t follow it and they get a bashing for it. Makes everyone’s job a lot harder because they don’t do their job properly, and then complain and get frustrated at employees for something that isn’t their fault. When people leave the business, which is a very regular occurrence here, they then talk badly behind their back about them. Even if they were a good worker, they always find a negative. Mental health issues are not dealt with correctly. Don’t have enough support. Don’t work here if you are looking for a supportive team, good job benefits, career progression or interesting work. You won’t find it here.
