Toxic management and low pay hurt workplace morale

Business Outlook

Pros

The people we work with suffer together I guess.

Cons

Pay is not competitive and senior management is absolutely terrible with no to little experience managing people. Favoritism and putting people in positions that they are unqualified for is normal. Layoffs and low morale are really concerning for anyone looking at joining the company. Would stay clear.
