LifeStation Reviews

The location in Union is just horrible if you take public transportation (especially if you work the evening or overnight shifts). Micromanagement is the word of the day, management is constantly walking around looking over your shoulder. "Training" was laughably non-existent. Pay was pretty low ( in 2011/2012 it was $12.00/hr ). You only have five (5) excused sick days for an entire year, no exceptions. Firing of staff was always done at the drop of a hat and always publicly. You were not allowed to have any personal items at all at your station, and you were also not allowed to even have water or coffee at your desk. Lunch was only 30 minutes with two (2) 15 minute breaks spaced widely apart. The VP at the time I worked there was an arrogant, spiteful man with no compassion for anyone ( I once witnessed an employee collapse in the break room from stress who had to be sent to the ER and this man did not bat an eye ).

There is no communication let alone 360 degrees of communication. From entry level to management employees, for the most part, are "thrown into the fire" without much preparation or organization. The owners run the place like a military base where you can't even have coffee at your desk and God forbid you talk to your co-workers or have a hand lotion at your cubicle. There is a tremendous lack of acknowledgement even if you work yourself to illness and random individuals are promoted through favoritism. If you call out sick 8 times in a rolling year you are fired relentlessly. In fact, employees are fired so often for no good reason it is as common as breathing. Even though the owners bought a brand new building there is such a lack of planning and resources it seems to be all a show for clients. What's more, there are glass windows in conference rooms above the call center where strangers can stare at us like we are animals at the zoo. The company seems to take advantage of minorities and women. There is an undeniable feeling across the board that upper management views employees as second class citizens when in reality they are immensely foolish for not recognizing and retaining talent.
