Toxic leadership creates a dreadful work environment

Pros

The job provides opportunity to pay bills. The 401k was advantageous.

Cons

The “President” of the Jax location is horrendous and unfit to be in a leadership role. Demonstrates poor integrity and leadership skills while lacking the ability to develop others around him. Continually tries to coach team to skew key performance indicators in an attempt to make himself look better to corporate office even at the cost of others job security. The environment is so terribly toxic that multiple tenured individuals have exited or been forced to exit as they are “not aligned” with the terrible forward looking culture that uses team members as if they are just employee numbers and tells people “if you don’t do what we tell you then we will fire you and find someone else who will.. oh by the way good luck at finding another job because the job market is tough.” The current President has never been in a leadership role in any capacity and it’s definitely demonstrated regularly as he openly demeans and berates subordinate team members publicly even in presence of customers and vendors. The culture is so toxic that you dread Sunday afternoons as you know that you have to work for an individual whose goal is to “make people break because he enjoys to see them squirm”. Be prepared to take on others responsibilities as you have to learn how to “do more with less” as you watch your peers terminated, or rather “laid off”, due to presidents personal feelings about individuals as he uses his position to “eliminate” opposition. You will have to do this until everyone is working constant overtime, the team is still incapable of meeting or keeping up with demands, and you have to continually present multiple reports and presentations to make case that lack of headcount is directly contributing to poor decision by leader to eliminate multiple positions and he now has to spin the narrative that there is now so much work we have to hire more when the same amount of work is being produced month over month but it’s wearing the team out.
