There were a number of factors that led to my resignation at FABRICA by A2Dominion.
There is a huge turnover of staff across the sales and marketing department.
In the time that I worked for FABRICA, more than nine people left the department. After these individuals left, department heads told directors that these people left to pursue 'new careers that offered higher salaries'.
Whilst a small majority of these people did leave for such reasons, many were incredible dedicated to the FABRICA brand. These individuals left due to the poor management style that let these people down. The brand has lost some incredibly talented and loyal team members.
There is a frequent blame, finger-pointing culture at FABRICA.
Department heads do not stand up for their team members. I have witnessed some team members be dishonest and 'throw each other under the bus' to earn the acknowledgement and praise of department heads. The moral of the team is low and could easily be improved.
The environment at FABRICA is fast paced, high pressured and intense.
Regardless of how many hours you work (evening and weekends), the quality of work you produce, or how often you go above-and-beyond your duties, will never be good enough for department heads. There is an expectation to constantly deliver more. Department heads will constantly micromanage staff.
Planning is poor and things often change at the very last minute.
You are constantly working to satisfy last minute, poorly planned decisions. You will work against the deadline delivering in what seems like the impossible. Your own personal ideas and opinions will never be taken into consideration.
FABRICA is a brand that doesn't like change.
Aside from acknowledging the brand as 'forward thinking', FABRICA doesn't like to take risks to innovate the brand. The smallest of ideas to improve processes seem too 'out-there' - this puts the brand at risk of falling behind it's competitors.
There are is zero career progression.
The role that you are assigned to when you start is the role that you'll finish when you leave. There aren't any plans to expand the brand (perhaps because FABRICA isn't able to retain staff).
