Frustrating and disorganized workplace with poor communication - Designer Soho Apparel Group Employee Review

If you are not part of the inner circle, expect a very frustrating experience. Communication across nearly every department is extremely poor. Many employees primarily speak Mandarin, which can make it difficult for non-Chinese speakers to communicate effectively and get the information they need to do their jobs. The company itself feels incredibly disorganized. The workplace often resembles a hoarder's house, with little structure, organization, or accountability. Emails frequently go unanswered, and important matters are ignored or left unresolved. Payroll issues seem to be a recurring problem, creating unnecessary stress for employees. Management is overly strict when it comes to tracking employees' time and closely monitors every hour worked, yet shows little flexibility or understanding when legitimate emergencies arise. Employees are often treated as if they are hourly workers regardless of their position, and time away for personal emergencies can result in pay disputes. The culture is equally disappointing. Employee morale suffers due to constant gossip, workplace drama, and a general lack of professionalism. Rather than fostering a supportive and respectful environment, the company creates unnecessary tension and frustration. Overall, this was one of the most disorganized and unpleasant workplaces I have experienced, and I would not recommend it to anyone seeking a professional, well-managed work environment.
