Draining workplace with poor communication, toxic culture, and little genuine care for employees.The good thingsThere were a handful of genuinely great people who made the experience bearable for a time. Some team members were incredibly supportive, hardworking, and easy to get along with, which helped offset the environment in the beginning. Unfortunately, many of those people eventually left as well, which says a lot in itself.
The challengesThe lack of communication was constant and frustrating, decisions are made with little to no transparency, leaving staff confused and wasting time trying to fill in the gaps.
The culture is where things really fall apart. It is toxic and heavily top-down, with leadership coming across as disconnected. There’s a clear lack of respect for employees as individuals, you’re treated like a number rather than a person.
While there are occasional “staff development days,” they feel more like a box-ticking exercise than a genuine effort to support or listen to employees. Concerns around workload, wellbeing, and processes are raised but rarely acted on, which makes those initiatives feel insincere.
