Toxic Work Environment Lead To Mental Health Issues
Pros
Office did not require a dress code, very casual.
Cons
After working for Volition I struggled with anxiety and panic attacks induced by the toxic work environment. For a company that preaches women empowerment outwardly, the sad reality internally is the complete opposite. The founders show little respect for employees, the workload is unmanageable and the timelines are impossible. Although there was “unlimited PTO” employees would be guilt tripped into working late nights and nearly 7 days a week. On multiple occasions one of the founders stormed out of the office and yelled at vendors in front of the staff. The other founder was so withdrawn from the staff she was out of touch with the day to day struggles. It wasn’t until months after leaving I was able to regain confidence in my work and realize how poorly I had been treated.
