1. I was lied to in the job description as to what I was doing. The job description listed out 5-7 different responsibilities I had, but I ended up having just one responsibility that allowed for extreme micromanaging and boring redundant tasks. I ended up being a secretary to senior management rather than ever being able to share ideas, brainstorm or work as a team.
2. I was lied to about my time schedule. I know I am not the only one this has happened to. I was told 9-5, but ended up having to basically work 'on-call'. 7am-3pm, 12-9pm.
3. The 3 highest ups in our department had worked together for 9+ years. Everyone else on the team was 2 years or less. The 3 basically ran a dictatorship of the department - never took in anyone else's ideas, was extremely passive aggressive to lower level staff, expected everyone on the team to read their minds. It allowed for a great bonding experience to all mutually dislike the management, but I can see why there is high turnover. The only time I saw someone succeed was when a new young (white) girl who was able to bond over with a manager over food & shopping habits was taken on board. She noticeably dropped the ball on many tasks, missed deadlines, and was always aloof. However, because of this 'bonding', she was given more responsibility faster than others taken on board at the same time.
4. There were many extremely inappropriate run-ins both me and other lower-lever staff had. When I quit, I brought all of the issues, at the request of my team, including proofs in the form of texts & emails, to HR. Before I even got to talking, HR told me that they couldn't do anything unless it was a 'serious issue' - aka something illegal. They wouldn't even bring my concerns to the head of the department...
So for whoever is commenting on these Glassdoor reviews creating the illusion that you care - I was told upfront already that you don't.
