TERRIBLE WORK ENVIRONMENT ! - Anonymous employee MRL Promotions Employee Review

This was not a healthy establishment to work at and I would not suggest working here.I love the promotional products industry but my time at mrl promotions was unbearable. If you like to be micro-managed and constantly put down by a tyrant this is the perfect position for you. Every employee is expected to copy the owner of the company, Mr Levitt, on all emails and were critiqued often. Mr Levitt is very involved and had zero trust in any of his employees which is why he would expect everyone to copy him on the emails. A compliment was far and few between. There is no real HR position so there is no proper person to report concerns and issues to. You will be looked down upon and told to "toughen up" if you chose to speak up. You are also shunned for taking any paid time off. Mr Levitt would preach positivity yet consistently put his employees down, point fingers and never have the employees backs. It was like walking on eggshells every single day around Mr Levitt. The office culture was purely toxic brought on entirely by Mr Levitt. Account managers were pinned against each other by Mr Levitt often creating a divide amongst teammates. There were zero incentives or bonuses offered. You can give it your all and the hard work would still will not be acknowledged. Expect to put in a lot extra hours and not be properly compensated. There is absolutely zero flexibility in working from home because Mr Levitt does not trust his employees. Simply put, Mr Levitt is a big bully and his victims are his employees. Due to all of these issues this company has an extremely alarming turn over rate. In my time there I witnessed dozens of employees quit because they could not take it any longer. The lifespan for an account manager position is roughly 3 months. There was no movement within the position because so many people quit. There is absolutely NO GROWTH within this company. Do not expect anything more than the bare minimum yearly raise. My current employment has taught me that a true leader encourages their employees and makes them feel empowered and supported. I am posting this in hopes it can inform those who do not want to suffer in an extremely toxic work environment.
