Doesn't Care about Employees

Pros

Let me start out by saying that I am thrilled that (so far) I have not heard of any layoffs as a result of Covid, that can't be overlooked. The company is fast paced, and I have learned a ton in my time here and am lucky to work on a team with some really great people.

Cons

Covid-19 has taught me this company does not care about its employees. When New York started shutting down, we were the LAST people to be told to work from home, and originally it was only for about 4 days. Finally the shut down came and we were told to WFH but were given NO idea about what a return to work timeline would look like. My team did not miss a beat in the WFH transition, and to be honest most if not all marketing jobs in the organization can be done from home. Consistently people asked about returning to work (to which no information was given) because there was a universal feeling it would be too early which turned out to be correct. We were told to return start June 29th despite an INCREDIBLE amount of employee outcry. The reasons being (based on a ridiculous email sent by the CEO) about us "not being creative" outside the office and needing to “feel and touch and smell beauty products" in order to do our jobs. Many people are upset and scared and uncomfortable and senior management simply doesn't care, and have literally been sending out what I can only refer to as propaganda about those who have chosen to return to work saying its "the place they feel the most safe." This organization doesn’t care about the physical and mental health of their employees, or the essential workers we could possibly endanger by taking public transportation when there is NO NEED TO.
