Little to no workplace diversity. C-suite / senior management are all white and almost all men. Several departments (compliance, operations, sales, accounts, manufacturing, legal) are majority white and majority men. There has been no effort to update recruiting methods to ensure that candidates with diverse backgrounds are considered and included as part of the interview process.
The few diverse candidates (people of color, women, LGBTQ, older employees, any combination of the previous) who are hired are not given adequate support or mentorship and as a result have slower progressions and limited upward trajectories (in terms of promotions, management opportunities, pay raises). These employees seem to receive more critical feedback and lower scores during reviews, may be (and often are) singled out, blamed, and labeled as low performers or difficult to work with. This has led to employees resigning in recent months or being let go or pushed out (responsibilities reduced or position eliminated). This dynamic has created a toxic workplace and tense atmosphere.
Company is poorly run. Strategy seems to shift and change weekly. There is no planning, communication, or transparency for decisions, and then everything needs to be done as soon as possible. Initiatives and teams are created and set up and then stopped or disbanded after a few weeks. This creates a high stress environment and results in mistakes that could have been avoided.
