A Crying Shame - Anonymous employee GKFX Employee Review

I guess its sad as I've seen this company at its best and now at its worst. Its shocking when you see the people you care about treated so badly, leaving them with no option but to leave and seek solace in another company, praying that its nowhere near as awful as GKFX. Management will sit and nod their heads to your gripes, but they know that its pointless as the company is micro managed by Turkey. Everything is managed by Turkey, there is no room to breathe. They require each and every person to bring their A game with little or no support. At one point the most powerful department in the company was rendered useless due to the lack of authority granted to carry out their contractual duties. They genuinely don't care about their employees, by their own admission anyone is replaceable, and at a drop of a hat. Expect no reward for working hard or for loyalty, that concept is as foreign as their IT department! You have to jump through hoops to work towards a 'bonus', what a sorry affair that turned into. Fill out a 14 page document, sit and discuss your career aspirations, its actually giving me migraine thinking about it. You work the entire year and go home with such a sad salary and a bonus that after tax is quite frankly an insult. They are at a stage where people leaving is a blessing as they don't have to pay an iota of redundancy. If you are considering employment with GKFX, think again, and again. They don't pay market rate for any role. You know that saying, if its too good to be true it usually is, well if by any chance you get the salary you want, expect that to be the last upgrade you ever get. After leaving GKFX one realises how bad they were, my only sadness stems from the fantastic people I left behind. The management do not make this company what it is.. the people do, they work hard, put up with so much and get treated worse than MacDonalds staff on a Friday night. Unless you count the monthly fruit basket 'making it in life' I would avoid. The mental stress, the lack of respect, the lies and attitude of the upper management will remain the same, with or without you. Once upon a time I could proudly say where I worked, it was never perfect but at least everyone was in the same boat and it made us strong. New employees will never understand how badly it has derailed. Those days are over, gone with it the professionalism you would expect from a firm of this supposed stature.
