This company will run you into the ground and make it feel normal. The culture is built on pressure, control, and fear—where your value is tied solely to what you produce right now. Not your tenure, not your loyalty, not your growth. Just output. And I can promise you- even that runs out, you can be a top producer and you still will not matter, look deep into LinkedIn and see how many top producers have turned over in just 6 months, and even scarier the last year.
You will be expected to sacrifice your time, your energy, and eventually your sense of self just to keep up. Nights, weekends, early mornings—it doesn’t matter. The expectation is that work comes first, always. And no, that extra time isn’t compensated.
Being on mandatory trainings on a Saturday morning while leadership tells you “our competitors are out enjoying life, but we’re here grinding” isn’t motivating—it’s a clear reflection of how little your time is respected.
The unspoken rule is simple: don’t question anything. The moment you push back—even respectfully—you’re labeled as a problem. There is a very real understanding that if you don’t fall in line, you won’t last.
And the most frustrating part? It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been there. 1 year, 5 years, 10+ years—you are completely replaceable. Loyalty is not rewarded. It’s ignored.
If you look around—or even check publicly—you’ll notice the pattern: people don’t stay because they feel valued. They stay because the money is just enough to justify putting up with it… until it isn’t.
