Sadly, I spent over two and half years at AVE and this company fits every single definition of a toxic work environment. AVE has a history of only hiring young, white women, there is absolutely no diversity and no effort to include any. Gossip spreads like wildfire throughout the organization and the only employees safe from it are the favorites of leadership. One particular manager constantly talks about employees they don’t like in front of large groups of people. This manager is the most unprofessional in the entire company. Because of this behavior apparently there has been an HR hotline created to report harassment from superiors. Throughout my time at AVE there has been constant turnover, and in the past 6 months this company has lost over 10 employees in the Philadelphia region alone. The main reason I left was due to the constant verbal abuse, unprofessionalism and toxicity that is running rampant amongst leadership. I did not feel safe, supported or heard at AVE. The morale of employees in the PA region of the company is at an all time low due to the actions of two very poor leaders. The HR department at AVE should’ve gotten the message about 7 resignations ago but it doesn’t look like they care. I am writing this review so that other prospective employees have the information I didn’t when applying. Just a bit of advice, unless you’re looking for endless burnout, zero opportunity for growth, an insane amount of stress and anxiety, and abuse from your employer, look somewhere else.
