- everything else: leadership (or lack thereof), small and cramped work space, overtime hours without compensation, unrealistic expectations and timelines, no work life balance, boring corporate events, no rewards or recognition, no career development, mediocre product, disconnect between corporate and retail, tacky lunches/treats provided for contrived office celebrations.
If you are considering a job here you are either desperate or have not done enough research. Go to LinkedIn and view all past and current employees. Notice the average length of employment, much like the weather in Vancouver there's an obvious trend - no one survives this black hole of an employer and neither will you.
The executive leadership makes it very clear that employees aren't valued as people and for their contributions. Employees are machines to be used, burnt out, and disposed of when all life and energy has been sucked out. There is no genuine effort made to get to know who their front line people are.
HR is a complete and utter shame to the industry and the profession. The organization's turnover is extremely high and there is no engagement or job satisfaction. You would think those are important KPIs for "people and culture". There's a lot of gossip about everyone in the organization and to whomever is the friend of the week.
No matter how hard you work or how many extra hours you put in you will never even hear a "thank you" instead they will ask you to sacrifice your health and well-being to give more. A lot of good people have come and gone and it says something when these reviews have pretty consistent insight.
