Walking HR Violation

Pharmaceuticals sales representative

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

They accept 7 years of loyalty (don’t expect in return)

Cons

HR thrives on open ended questions while telling you what happened.., not asking. Threatening to open investigations and not giving a reason why there’s an investigation. Requiring you to do work duties after your final resignation day and not paying you for your time….. I can continue

Company is going downhill

Business Outlook

Pros

No micromanaging because there is no managing

Cons

Metrics over employees. While everyone else gets holiday parties at the end of the year, management requests more days on site to increase metrics. They ask to submit feedback but it’s never acknowledged or discussed. Quantity and $ over quality, so you’re stuck spending hundreds of hours fixing other past-employees poor quality work. You don’t feel like you matter here despite how much effort you put in - it’s not enough.

Pros

Not much I can think of

Cons

Overworked and underpaid. Company is always looking to meet quotas, even if they're unreasonable by any sane standard
