Disorganized and tons of drama - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Alderman

The people are helpful and are willing to teach you on the fly, and play to your strengths

Understaffed, need more help to keep things organized

Endless opportunities to work overtime, whether you want to or not.

Alderman needs to improve its toxic work environment, starting with management. A lot of the time managers are causing the issues. They could implement some changes to solve the problems, but they’d rather play favorites, and/or not put restrictions on their own toxic behaviors. The majority of our managers are passive-aggressive, micro-managing, and unsupportive. The company as a whole has issues with boundaries, especially in the photography/digital departments. Again, management plays an active role in our issue with sexual harassment/sexism. HR needs to step it up. We’ve had employees leave because HR didn’t want to interfere. Also, we need work-life balance. We’re required to work overtime, during lunch, in the evenings, and on weekends, often times without notice. It doesn’t help that the favs goof off the majority of the time with the managers. Again, managers enable it. This forces the rest of us to pick up the slack, it’s no wonder we have issues with burnout.
