Training is limited and not very hands‑on. The initial 6–8‑week program only provides a high‑level overview of the systems. Once you start real implementations, you’re expected to rely on a massive database of SOPs and guides rather than receiving individual training. Management discourages asking teammates for help—even when you’re handling a task for the first time—yet internal controls will flag errors if you don’t complete it perfectly. This creates unnecessary stress for new hires who are still learning the process. Managers often lack a deep understanding of the department they supervise, so they’re not able to provide clear guidance or support. The company brings on many contractors but rarely converts them to full‑time roles, even when they’ve been performing well for months. External candidates are frequently hired over long‑term contractors. Some managers are also noticeably dismissive toward contractors. I witnessed one manager redirect a visitor away from contractors and only introduce them to full‑time employees, which contributed to an unwelcoming environment.
