Disappointing culture - werkgeversreview Anonieme werknemer bij Megger

Culture is great. No constant drama, everyone minds their own and helps as much as possible.

Pay is not the greatest

Great coworkers, a lot of OT opportunities if that’s your thing, learn a lot of skills, easy to collaborate across locations which was always nice

Toxic regional manager, they don’t have a good safety culture and will often dismiss your safety concerns instead of addressing them because they have a singular point of data that “proves” you’re okay (you’re not). unfair expectations and standards between people of the same or higher level, very difficult to get promoted no matter how many 5s you receive on your evaluations, hard to establish a healthy work/life balance, management has 0 empathy when you are going through a devastating loss, PTO is always a competition and you’re guilted into not using it, and some lab managers (TX Lab) are Mean Girls stuck in high-school and talk so alarmingly bad about their own employees and others, often making up lies about them to make themselves look better. This job will suck the will to live out of you and destroy your mental health, and you will be gaslit into thinking you suck at your job because you need time to address things in your personal life. The workload is so horribly mismanaged and divided that you will likely get stuck with 75% of the work and don’t take any breaks because you can’t while someone who sits on their phone and takes 5 breaks a day gets 25% of the work. Management also allows clients to call the lab and berate and demean you because they didn’t send their samples in correctly and it’s somehow your fault. Quitting is your best option if you ever start here.
