Toxic Work Environment

Pros

The only pro is the store discount and you get an hour lunch. (trust me when I say you're gonna need it if you work here.)

Cons

+ Mean girl mentality- I had issues where I was being so closely monitored to the point that I would need to tell them what I was doing at all times. + All departments LOVE LOVE LOVE to micro manage and place blame on the black sheep employee of the department when something goes wrong. + Not a whole lot of training happens literally you get thrown into your position without knowing what to do. + If you ever experience harassment and report it the harassers are automatically rewarded (thanks education and show director for “protecting” your co-workers who were open and honest with you to only do nothing in return) + Directors & VP’s have NO idea what us normal people do and it’s frustrating how we have to constantly repeat what our duties are. Also have NO idea how systems work. + Company is constantly doing layoffs and recently laid off a lot of people after FURLOUGHING them for 3 months and promising to bring them back. So far they have had 3 big lay offs within the corporation. + With the layoffs comes more and more work for one person - everyone in the corporate office is extremely overworked but expected to do it all with a smile on their face. + With the strenuous workload you receive DONT even bother to ask for a raise because if you do you literally get punished. + If you do get a raise - it’s literally cents. Such a joke! + Also during my employment (4 years) in the winter the heater smells like sewage and I’m pretty sure that’s not healthy to breath in and the building is infested with cockroaches. As you can tell this place is extremely toxic - I have had extreme amounts of anxiety and as someone who worked 4 years with the company I can say that this job is not worth it. They are “evolving” as they put it but can only evolve by laying people off and overworking UNDERPAID employees. The CEO has no idea what he’s talking about most of the time and is very uninvolved like most higher-ups. If you’re even considering working here please avoid it like you would the plague or better yet avoid it like it were the coronavirus!

Pros

Nothing about this company is positive. They tell you that they care about employees, but they don't.

Cons

They don't appreciate honest hardworking employees. They don't pay well at all then they blame you when you can't hire decent employees. When you get burnt out from working 50-60 hrs a week they toss you out like trash no matter how much you have given them.

Potential is there but serious culture problems will be the demise of SBH

Pros

There are solid gold employees at the home office and pockets of great teams. This would be the only reason people show up each day. Lots of potential but serious changes overall need to occur.

Cons

Overall company culture problem. Too lean staff to accomplish mandates and projects. Multi billion dollar company operating on a shoe string staff and everyone wonders why we can operate faster. Accountability issues, every be is running around just trying to stay afloat.
