Vantaggi

Compensation was fair for a 40 hour work week. Doing all that is required in 40 hours is very difficult without backlash.

Svantaggi

First--you are an event planner. However, when trying to book vendors for your events, the paperwork is so unnecessarily grueling for you and your vendor, they typically give up on you, making it near impossible to run events properly and professionally. And forget ever paying a vendor on time. Second -- everything you read in previous reviews about the VP is true. She completely will leave you on your own until something is brought to her attention that she views as a major issue (usually a rumor). She will then turn her attention to you and micromanage and criticize every inch of your performance and actually invent issues or blow situations out of proportion. This is way worse if you are the type to defend yourself. She will discipline you vindictively, if this is the case. She is so visibly insecure, that she feel bullying is the only way to maintain control. Third, the residents at Esplanade are some of the most ungracious people you will ever meet. Granted, this is not the company's fault. However, anyone going into this position should know, you will turn yourself inside out for them, and they will never appreciate it, in fact, they will most likely insult your efforts. Fourth -- There is no way to promote in this position. It is a dead end. And will likely leave you without a positive reference.

Vantaggi

There were many hardworking, ethical employees and leaders who genuinely tried to improve culture, professionalism, and operations. The business itself had real potential.

Svantaggi

The core issue at this company was ownership. The two owners were married at the time, and their personal lives were deeply entangled with the business, creating instability and a toxic work environment. One owner routinely crossed professional boundaries with employees, including inappropriate flirting and behavior that made people uncomfortable or afraid to speak up. Executives were repeatedly placed in impossible positions. We were instructed to terminate employees for reasons unrelated to performance, and ownership later told those employees that leadership alone made those decisions and that ownership “had nothing to do with it,” despite decisions being dictated behind the scenes. Executives were used as shields so ownership could avoid accountability. Employees who were perceived as threats, who knew too much, or who could not be controlled were pushed out. HR was involved multiple times regarding serious misconduct, and confidential settlements were used to keep issues from escalating. There were also major concerns about how business was conducted to preserve a key contract. Decisions lacked transparency and appeared to personally benefit ownership rather than the company or employees. Repeated attempts by executives and managers to reinvest in employees, improve culture, and establish real HR structure were dismissed or blamed on leadership instead. The two owners were rarely aligned, creating constant confusion and dysfunction. Employees received conflicting direction, and accountability never flowed upward. Overall, this was a culture of fear, secrecy, and ethical compromise, driven by ownership, not by the management team.
