Toxic Culture and Lack of Strategy

Pros

Some great people and fun work, if you can handle the leadership and toxic culture.

Cons

The company culture is dominated by fear, discouraging employees from speaking up, making suggestions, or participating in decision-making due to fear of retaliation. The absence of HR leaves employees feeling unprotected and unsupported. Employees feel undervalued, with the company prioritizing money over people. Efforts to foster a positive culture, such as events and collaboration, are often rejected. The company operates reactively, lacking clear processes, leading to chaotic decision-making and poor communication. There is a disconnect between stated values and actual actions, creating confusion. The company also lacks clear goals or a long-term strategy. One individual heavily influences decisions and company culture. Concerns about workplace fairness and inclusivity were heightened after layoffs and firings for retaliation for speaking out, especially raising alarms about the treatment of women. Additionally, questionable ethical practices were suggested by remarks like, “we do things above the bar, for the most part,” signaling potential integrity issues.

Pros

none. They are dishonest, they refuse to take responsibility for their own mistake and find the first person to blame when it was them who made the mistake, management does nothing but back each other up when they make the mistake then blame anyone or everyone else. Bull in a china closet is the best way I can describe the management team, if you love micromanagement then go ahead and take this job, otherwise don't waste your skills or your time because if you have a career in mind or want to be treated decently you will not get it here. I highly advise anyone to keep moving.

Cons

everything. Nothing good comes from here.

Pros

Ticket bank to purchase inventory on their site. Snacks.

Cons

Working at TFL has been one of the most dehumanizing and miserable experiences of my career. This company is a cesspool of blatant sexism and favoritism, where women are not just undervalued—they're unwanted and outright ignored. It’s a toxic, male-dominated environment where your worth is defined by how much you tolerate the abuse, rather than the quality of your work. The C-suite lines their pockets with paychecks that are 10x that of entry-level employees, with absolutely no self-reflection or interest in transparency. Leadership is a joke. They screw over their employees any chance they get, showing no remorse. It’s a sketchy operation, driven by greed and power, with no regard for the well-being of those doing the actual work. Expect to be overworked and treated like disposable garbage. You'll receive emails late into the night—9, 10, and even 11 PM—and you’re expected to respond instantly. Forget about weekends; you'll be working those too, without any overtime pay if you’re salaried. The grind never ends, and no matter how hard you work, credit will never come your way. In September, they callously laid off employees who had received raises and bonuses just a month prior. It's clear that no one is safe. Diversity? Nonexistent. The company refuses to invest in any HR department, leaving employees completely unsupported and vulnerable. To top it all off, they once forced us to work in an office where the AC broke, leaving us to suffer in 90+ degree heat—inside the building. No one was allowed to leave. It was nothing short of inhumane. More and more higher-level employees are fleeing this sinking ship because of its rampant toxicity and utter disregard for any semblance of work-life balance. The message from the top is clear: they don’t care about you, your well-being, or your contributions. This is not a workplace—it's a hellhole designed to bleed you dry and throw you out the second they no longer need you.
