Do yourself a favor and do not apply here - Anonymous employee Mattress Firm Employee Review

I can't say if the problems I experienced were company-wide or just an issue with my HR leader, but I had a horrific employee experience. So bad that I left without having another job lined up. There is absolutely no onboarding process. In my first week, my peer screen shared her team's chat by accident, and I saw a conversation between her and my leader complaining that I was talking about my previous company too much. During a leadership training, we were asked to draw off previous experience. By the third week, my leader had told me that a PowerPoint I had completed was "extremely sloppy and the formatting was pathetic." I admit I had made an error by duplicating one bit of info, but I was not given any guidelines or standards for PowerPoint formatting expectations. Additionally, I showed my draft to both my leader and peer and confirmed the vision I was designing, and they both agreed. By week four, my peer had accidentally screen-shared her teams again, and this time, there was a screenshot of me in another leader training meeting in a chat between the two of them. I finally addressed my concerns with HR and was told that the screenshot of me was just to confirm my attendance in the class. By week seven, my leader asked me to call up my peers from my previous employer to get screenshots of the work we had done there. I told her I was not going to do that, that it was proprietary information, and that I had signed several confidentiality agreements on the work I had created there. She got very upset with me. I was bullied and harassed about something every day. At the end of every day, my spouse asked me what they had done that day to make life miserable. My final straw was when my leader put me on a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) and completely lied on the entire document. I pushed back with HR and asked if I could continue my work on another team, but I was told I could not. I could not continue working for an organization with a leader who was determined to get me to quit and wanted me gone so badly she was willing to lie and fabricate information. It's unclear whether these issues were isolated to the talent area in HR or were indicative of a wider organizational problem. I was largely isolated from my peers, and in the four months I worked there, I was not allowed to reach out to other areas of the business or HRBPs to discuss my questions. My interactions were limited to my one peer and leader, leaving me with a sense of opacity and lack of transparency. Finally, the FTC just filed a suit against Temper Sealy, rejecting their plan to purchase Mattress Firm, so I'm not sure how financially secure the company is.
