1. Pay scale not competitive with industry standards. 2. 401K is "discretionary" aka "when the CFO feels like it". It currently sits at 0% match. Zero. They will try and rope you in with promises of a 401K match without actually mentioning what the "match" is. It's zero. 3. "Doing more with less" is a company motto. Seriously. The CFO views employees as expendable and replaceable (spoiler alert: they can't even replace anyone). The turnover rate is 28%. Duties vacated by departing personnel are expected to be carried out by the Survivors on Survivor Island with no compensation. Positions aren't replaced since the CFO would rather save $60K a year than hire a new resource. 4. No upward mobility. Oh sure, they'll give you some fancy made-up title that means absolutely nothing but won't hesitate to bestow upon you new responsibilities with zero compensation. Employees are often informed of promotions in public announcements and without consultation. "Surprise, you're promoted! Here's twenty new duties with zero pay increase!" They may offer you a promise of a "management development program" or "career path development program" or some other nonsense. It's a smokescreen for the fact that you will manage nothing but your own sanity. 5. Lack of communication. Major initiatives go unannounced or unexplained by management. The 401K match reduction to ZERO percent was never explained. They simply hoped no one would notice and if they did, didn't care since employees have no recourse anyways. As explained before, personnel changes are announced publicly with no consultation to those being promoted or given new duties. 6. Low Morale. Morale is at an all-time low in all locations. Disrespect from management, lack of employee compensation and increasing workloads have created a depressing and morose atmosphere.
