What don't you like about working at Bodek and Rhodes?

"* Good ol' boys environment masquerading as a family company. The tenured employees there generally hate when anyone new is hired and even haze them through intentionally giving misinformation, stealing lunches, etc.* Complete and utter disconnect between Human Resources management and reality. They think that the practices of this company are normal. Giving no 10 or 15 minute breaks and expecting employees to work 5 or 6 hours straight is uncalled for.* Pass the buck: No one there takes responsibility and transferring customers from department to department is apropros. Any new blood that tries to change this mentality is met with mistreatment by the seasoned veterans.* No overtime but the day doesn't end at 530: Even though you don't get overtime, it's frowned upon if you don't leave at 540 or 545. If you are one minute early leaving or one minute late, you are docked 15 minutes from pay.* Chilling, negative enivronment: Everyone who mentors you will air their dirty laundry about the company, spread rumors, give you misinformation. Even was given a link by MANAGEMENT about bad reviews about this company on this website.* Backward technology: Database is from 1997, all computers have Windows XP, Internet access banned for any employees below sales.* Supports hazing and harassment: Was told by an employee there that male and female employees regularly use quid pro quo to promote people and that if your'e not married into the Rhodes family, you'll never get past middle management.* Unprofessional sales team: Ever see Boiler Room Yeah. It's 2012 and it's surprising this place hasn't been slapped with a class action lawsuit. It's totally acceptable there that customers call in using homophobic slurs.* The President hates rumors yet the entire time I worked there, rumors swirled about other employees.* People steal your lunches. They claim to have a camera that can see the refrigerator yet refuse to rewind tape when stolen lunches are reported."
