Terrible management, allow people to be negative toward one another. I had been asking management with assistance on getting the negative tension out of the department only to hear it was all me, really, after 4 weeks of employment.
Toxic environment, my first day the CFO/Controller (daughter/sister of owners) told me any and everything bad she could about her brother, the President. Who does that let alone on someone's first day.
I was told the toxic person in the office who was cancerous toward me does it to everyone new in the office. Why do businesses allow this type of behavior, its bad from the beginning.
Poor hiring, I was setup to fail from the beginning. The CFO/Controller hired me to take her place without having the Owner, President or VP's input. In this type of position you should always meet with all stakeholders to ensure its a good fit for all. I wasn't liked before I even started.
