Getting Worse and Worse - Avis employé Employé (anonyme) HighPoint Digital

I once had an optimistic view of HighPoint and looked forward to coming to work each day. Over the past 14 months, things have truly taken a turn for the worse. The level of turnover and lack of sufficient training for new hires has caused once-standard processes to be completely neglected. This has, in turn, made work less and less collaborative, stifled innovation and creativity, and contributed to unrealistic turnaround times. Employees are more disgruntled than ever, and many of us need to put in after-hours work week after week just to keep up with increasingly demanding workloads. And, to top it off, we just received an announcement last week that benefits are being cut substantially, in order to “win new business.” In addition, management has gone back on their word regarding paid time off. They have also made little to no progress on initiatives outlined over a year ago. I’m not sure why the decision was made to take the poor results of upper-level management decisions out on employees, but it seems to be a very short-sighted move that will only result in higher turnover and contribute to an even more toxic work environment down the road. I am inclined to believe that upper-level executives are perfectly fine with employees finding work elsewhere so that they can replace them with cheaper hires. (Although, perhaps you also don’t need multiple offices in Indianapolis and multiple offices in Baltimore?) So, to those considering a position at HighPoint, I would highly advise caution. You should be wary of seeking an opportunity here given the current nature of the company.
