"SCF is terribly managed. Applicants beware!"

What do you like about working at SCF Arizona?

"The opportunity that my position offered seemed ideally suited to my personal interests and strengths. Initially, my colleagues were pleasant and welcoming."

What don't you like about working at SCF Arizona?

"As it turned out, department and corporate leaders proved to be exceptionally poor communicators. Moreover, certain of my colleagues, whom I liked personally, consistently delivered work that was rife with errors. Although I was initially lauded for pointing out and correcting these errors, my efforts eventually led to my dismissal without explanation less than six months after I was hired. Another contributing factor, I suspect, was my inexperience in a large, corporate environment. Given that I had extensive experience in marketing communications, I shared marketing and story ideas with managers and senior managers... who never suggested that this was inappropriate. In retrospect, however, I suspect that this behavior was not well received, despite the appreciative comments that resulted. Indeed, at least one of my ideas sponsoring our local public radio affiliate was put into action after I left. In the five-month period I worked for SCF, I received three Bright Idea awards. However, I was ultimately refused the much delayed payout associated with the last award, since I was released prior to its delivery. Finally, I should note that my wife was diagnosed with cancer very shortly before I was released from SCF, a fact that my managers there were well aware of. I find it hard to believe that this might have played a role in the decision to release me, but the possibility does exist. I should note that I turned down a raise from my prior employer that would have ended up netting me over $20,000 more, annually, than what I accepted as a base salary at SCF. I had happily accepted the salary cut because I believed that my position at SCF would provide me the opportunity to do the sort of work I had always wanted to do.To say that I was heart-broken by my failure at SCF is an understatement. Although I have been released from positions in the past, my prior employers were always extremely complimentary of my work and efforts. Lastly, I might point out that I was ultimately rehired by the firm I had left, two years later. However, I was offered less than the amount I had been offered, previously, to stay and lost my seniority, including the right to an extra week of vacation each year, among other benefits."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Learn to communicate clearly. Get rid of the sycophants."
