Very Disappointing - Anonymous employee Vionic Group Employee Review

Very bad management. CEO is absent (literally lives across the country) and isn't much involved. COO is ineffectual. President has wiped out many of the original staff (many of whom beloved) and replaced them with employees from her former venture. Managers are completely ego-driven, and in some cases, abusive. You can be a top performer but if you aren't in line with management they will make you miserable and fearful for your job. Forget being recognized for your contributions, it won't happen. Executive management is aware of the issues with the culture but does not weed out the bad apples-- and some are among the most toxic people I've ever known. I guess they prefer instead to lose good employees or to fire those who raise concerns. I came into work with massive anxiety almost every day of my time here. Positive Glassdoor reviews are strongly requested by "Talent & Culture" i.e. HR.
