The COO has created such a hostile environment that no one seems to have motivation to move the company forward. Some business decisions being made make no sense, and there are so many process/operational/structural changes without allowing enough time to determine whether a change would be effective before making a new change. The COO will constantly tell you to “do better” no matter how hard you work. He also thinks that he can get anything he wants and just tells employees to make things happen without giving you enough time to finish a task.
We have to use wechat, dingtalk, and email to communicate, and it’s annoying. Stores are struggling to survive with labor cuts, and turnover has been high even at the corporate level.
Pay is not reflective of the amount of work employees put in and there are no opportunities for annual increases (no formal review system). There’s “growth” in a sense that you can learn and pick up more tasks, but you’re not really rewarded with pay or promotions. You also need to always “prove” yourself, whatever the hell that means. Benefits are expensive and we don’t get any vacation days.
I can go on and on but I’d end up writing an essay.
