Toxic Workplace - Anonymous employee National Western Life Insurance Employee Review

--Management plays favortism big time. If you're not buddies with the higher up management, then you'll be looked over and underappreciated. --Little to no room for growth, don't expect promotions unless again, you know someone higher up or just kiss up a lot. The "raises" you get at the end of the year are minimal and hard to live on, which gives most workers little motivation to excel at their work anyways. --They give you sick time and vacation days, but they don't like it when you use them. You can be pulled aside (personal story) and told to not use any more days unless you want to be written up. --Training is poor to say the least. Usually you're thrown off to another employee and it's up to them if they really want to walk you through everything. You get in trouble if you don't know something even if never taught it. --Very jaded environment altogether. People can be gossipy and judgmental. Supervisors often look the other way. Super cliquey.
