My first impression of how this company promotes was enough to make me, and another MA from my office quit. This girl was hands down the biggest bitch I have ever met, which is a bold statement comming from a bitch like myself! She could never stop bragging about her sales, and how she was the best. NO ONE liked her, she had the type of personality that just rubbed everyone the wrong way. She was rude to customers and once actually had to be pulled away from the counter because she was yelling at a customer. She also sold unethically...you know adding it into the price when quoting a reservation. I kept my mouth shut knowing it would only be a matter of time before she was fired. Turns out she was promoted AM at a branch with a different area manager. My office acually celebrated because she was hated that much. Turns out my area manager didn't want to lose his retention ratings so he opted to promote her to another area just to get her out of his hair.
Now how does this look to a newly hired MT? This girl should have been fired on several occasions, and instead was promoted. Turns out a few months after she was promoted they wanted to demote her. Everyone in her new office hated her and many even threatened to quit. She quit before it actually happened.
The point of this (sorry for the length) is a sure fire example of how this multi million dollar company handles situations such as this one. I like to refer to it as sweeping the problem under the rug instead of dealing with it head on.
