No Regard For Staff - Designer Forrec Employee Review

- No room for growth or promotion, especially if you're a junior employee - Significantly underpaid and overworked - No acknowledgement from your superiors for work excellence - Extremely poor project team communication, very difficult to complete work efficiently - Management is woefully unaware of the issues facing junior and intermediate staff, and seems uninteresting in making conditions better - Management does not listen to staff or their needs - Staff who raise issues and ways to improve are seen as a nuisance, not an asset - New HR personnel are ill-equipped to deal with the increasing number of staff complaints about working conditions, do not stick up for staff and only act as an agent of the CEO - International projects are uninspired, often with concepts re-used many times - Company claims to care about sustainability initiatives but has neglected to implement readily available sustainability measures for the past 2 years and only includes minimal sustainable design principles on projects where clients ask or it is legally mandated - Very limited opportunities for construction administration experience (if you are not licensed, it will be extremely difficult to complete the process at this firm) - Majority of employees will only ever be used for production; limited opportunities to engage in the early concept and design phases (only company sweethearts are given this opportunity) - Absolutely no real action on diversity, equity, or inclusion efforts; CEO refuses to make public anti-racism statement, only complies with legal mandates - Over the last few years under the direction of the current CEO the company organization has become increasingly top-heavy and ineffective - Very high staff turn-over - Very little work flexibility; CEO is adamant on full-time return to office once allowed by the government; no willingness to entertain flexible working arrangements despite most staff asking for it
