Toxic Working Atmosphere

Pros

Decent payment in comparison to the retail competition.

Cons

sharp hierarchy, toxic colleagues and superiors, systematic surveillance and monitoring. Distrust from the superiros. If you dare to check your phone for a second in order to check the time you will be suspected of laziness. Ridiculous! Unpaid overtime work.

Pros

Thinking hard to add here anything..

Cons

Super toxic environment and blame culture. "The door is always open" exists only on paper. When it comes to actual actions on management side, nothing changes. Speaking up and being honest can feel like a career-ending move. Salary is above the market, benefits used to be great but the company keeps cutting them (eg. no more free lunch and snack options, no free language courses etc). Managers in general have zero people management skills. Gaslighting and textbook-like micromanagement, unfair employee treatment, favoritism are part of every day life. People are burning out and leaving the manager(s), still this is a not a clear enough sign to their superiors that something is definitely wrong in the team and that things need to be changed. This happens also because toxicity recreates itself within the company: directors and top management have similar attitude and keep hiring similar dilettante managers. Directions are changing every week if not more often, it feels there is no strategy.
