Its like putting lipstick on a pig - Counsel, Charities Benevity Employee Review

After reading through all the previous reviews I felt compelled to share my own experience and validate what has already been said by former employees and rebuttals from Benevity and the president himself To start, it is 100% correct that when a negative review is posted to any social platform there is recruitment for staff to post positive reviews to bury the bad. Second, In replies to reviews where the president himself belittles a review and pretty much accuses the reviewer of being sensitive, That shows you how things are really dealt with at that level had they come and spoken to you. Unapproachable and will not admit there are big problems. Third, the "people" team. The people team is presented as a unified front for the employees and management team to ensure cohesion, productivity and maximum potential. Again this is so far from the case, the people teams sole responsibility is to defend and cover up team lead, management and supervisor faults. In no shape or form it this team for the people. On to the ugly. Leadership (department managers and team leads) severely lack the skills to grow and empower their people. Employees and belittled, bullied, silenced, threatened, back stabbed, undercut and down right made to feel unwanted or appreciated. Staff have been fleeing on the daily from my department in particular yet nothing is ever questioned. Why wouldn't the first thought be "whats going on?" Benevity employs talent that a is capable of great things for the company, it is unfortunate team leads and management do not care for anything accept their bottom line. Socializing and team building are encouraged but not participated in by the leads or management, ever. Again goes to show general staff are not part of their crew. Arrogance between positions and departments is rampant - There are the departments that are viewed as bottom feeders and treated as such. Bottom line, I wish I would have gotten out sooner but am fortunate to have learned some valuable lessons. A toxic work environment can damage even the strongest of people and no job no matter what they are selling it as, is worth it.
