Red Flags Everywhere - Mitarbeiter (anonym) bei Tend: Mitarbeiterbewertung

It's hard to even think of where to begin. The corporate team (called the "hub") is full of people anxious about losing their jobs, or incredibly gossipy wannabe girlbosses. The NYC team only spends a few days in the office during the week right now, but I dread the days I have to go in. It's dead silent in the office and the only time you hear people talking is when they are trashing employees that aren't currently in the office. The dynamic between the Nashville and NYC teams is also both awkward and toxic. I've been on conference calls with Nashville leadership where my colleagues in NYC turned bright pink in the middle of the call from getting yelled at for things out of their control. You shouldn't be making your team break out in hives over an unpredictable error. Diversity is a clear issue with hub employees. It was a bit of an adjustment when I first started at Tend and realized that every single person there looks the same. NYC is so diverse, so I find this inexcusable. The pay and benefits at Tend are very low. I have a feeling they base their NYC employees off of Nashville salaries. The healthcare costs are extraordinarily high for a start-up in healthcare. A lot of people are given inflated titles (ex. Manager title but not managing anyone. Directors are really the equivalent of Managers). Tend is planning a lot of growth outside of NYC and based on the salaries of people on my team, I wouldn't be surprised if they replaced us with people from a cheaper city in the future. Tend's primary market right now is NYC, but this company is merely a leech to the city. Turnover is incredibly high at Tend. It's not uncommon for people to just walk off the job in the first few weeks, but management also fires people like crazy. Tend will sell you these dreams of growth and opportunity, but the reality is that a lot of people don't make it past six months. I'm also not aware of any real opportunity for career growth here. People just magically get promotions handed to them, but there isn't much of a way to explore new career paths or express that you want to grow. This is a place you go for a job, not a career.
