Cons

I’ve overlooked some flaws in the 8+ years I’ve worked here, and maybe it was better then. But in the past months, the company continues to reveal how repugnant its absurd, opaque management structure truly is, and it is very disturbing. The other reviews about the COVID response say enough, and I can confirm it’s true. But what’s more unsettling is what the response itself says about the culture.

This company “culture” is toxic to the core.

“Culture” is used to justify indefensible and immoral actions. It rewards secrecy and complacency and punishes those who speak out for what’s right. Power is concentrated in the hands of a small group of very wealthy individuals who operate without accountability and apparently morals. The result should be downright terrifying.

If you accept a job here, know that the only ones left at the higher ranks of management are the blindly obedient ones who only tell their bosses what they want to hear. Others will take dishonest actions out of fear for their job and paycheck. The result is a corporation that can never advocate for your safety or well-being.

Advice to Management

Something is seriously and dangerously broken at the very top.
