The weirdest company with toxic and unprofessional environment - Anonymous employee Rieker Employee Review

• Local leadership in Canada demonstrates a low level of professionalism and managerial culture. • There is no strategic planning—tasks are assigned chaotically, without clear goals or deadlines. • Feedback is inconsistent and often aggressive; constructive dialogue with management is nearly impossible. • Roles and responsibilities are not clearly defined. Employees are frequently expected to take on tasks outside their expertise without proper access or support. • Many decisions are made without consulting the team, and accountability is often shifted onto executors. • There is a lack of transparency in processes and communication between international offices. • Initiative is not encouraged—even when it leads to improvements, it’s often perceived as criticism. • A constant “firefighting” culture: working under stress due to poor organization is the norm. • Poor work-life balance—there’s an unspoken expectation that employees will “figure things out” and work overtime without recognition. • Unequal distribution of resources and system access, which prevents some employees from doing their jobs effectively. • High turnover—many strong professionals leave the company.
