7 Types of Companies You Should Never Work For
1. The High Turnover Outfit
Red flags: Key roles pop up consistently on a company’s job site.
2. The Culture Clash Corp
Red flags: Negative employee reviews, lack of focus on a true employee experience, recruiters evading your questions.
3. The Curb Appealer
Red flags: Pristine and ideal image in marketing materials and publicity, however, the day-to-day operation is far from glamorous. Only the leaders have what can pass as offices, staff is dispersed amongst shoddy cubicles, lighting is awful, technology is from the ’90s, and let’s not get started on the break room.
4. The Top Heavy Business
Red flags: Too many executives brainstorming, too few employees tasked with executing.
5. The Perpetual Promisor
Red flags: Unfulfilled corporate expectations, employees report a lack of trust in CEO, inability to live up to brand promises.
6. The “Stagnator”
Red flags: Lack of learning opportunities, fails to promote mentorship, offers little more than the role you’ve applied for.
7. The Directionless Ship
Red flags: No clear plan for the future, employees don’t know long-term goals, senior leadership fails to adequately communicate.
