As a former employee, I can say that, IN MY OPINION, they are the most backwards, unprofessional,…read moreunethical, etc.
I could write a novel about why this place should be avoided but, I will give you 3 highlights and allow you to decide for yourself.
1) I was given a computer that did not have any of the 12 apps that I would need to do a job that I would never be trained to do. When asked for help, I was told to contact my equal at another branch. I was told by that person that I was lying and lazy because I was not able to learn/do anything because she did not believe me when I told her about the pc/app situation. When I approached the branch manager, he said something to the effect of; Yeah, she is not very helpful. Just do your best.
2) Similar to the previous situation, I was not trained to do the job. I was, eventually able to get the apps, shown 1 time (took notes) at a very fast, unreasonable pace, on how to do each task. The branch manager was clueless. He told me to contact the regional controller (his wife who worked for the managing company). She kept apologizing for not training me. Even though, she/they lived about 5 miles or so away. She also told me not to contact ANY of the managing company because they were too busy. To spite all of those hurdles, I learned my job and did it damn good. I was teaching people how to do the tasks that I had to learn myself.
3) In vague details, the branch needed to come up with the salary difference for a "Rock Star" candidate. In the month between his first interview up through the point when he would begin (approx. a month), it seemed that everything I did, as I had been doing it, became wrong. The branch manager's wife (controller) became vicious with me. Ripping me on anything that I did. The branch manager became sheepish. Making excuses for her behavior, even though I had been told, ipso facto, he knew what she was doing. They broke me. I was complaining to the assistant controller via G Meets, all of the sudden, HR wants to talk to me. Everything I said and more was relayed to them, in deceptive and misleading ways. I was fired.
About a week after, the position I was in, was advertised on Indeed, as a part time position and the salary was reduced by EXACLTY how much they needed to come up with for the new "rock star".
They simply could have asked me if I was willing to change to part time. Regardless, for some odd reason, I am not able to get a position (identical to that one). Telephone, Telegraph, Tell the branch manager...the fastest way for lies to travel.
THIS IS IN MY OPINION. THE SIMILARITIES TO ANY REAL LIFE SITUATION ARE PURELY COINCIDENTAL
