Disorganized in respect to THIS job-My title was "HR Assistant/Office Manager," but the other HR Assistant/Office Manager made it clear that I was not that. It was and remains unclear whether the other HR Assistant/Office Manager was my superior or my equal, and she had only been there 6 months or so more than me. She had no experience with managing someone in my position, so I usually worked only maybe 5 hours a day 3 days a week because there was never enough work. It was difficult to manage this as a part time job while holding onto another job because there were frequent cancellations. I asked to be informed in advance if there was going to be a day where I was requested not to come in but I still usually found out the day before. Unlike most jobs with Power, this position does not have performance reviews so it's difficult to understand expectations. I once asked why nobody received a two weeks notice before being laid off and the other office manager told me they didn't need it in their position, which struck me as strange as though she didn't understand the purpose of a two weeks notice. It shouldn't have come as a surprise that I was also laid off without two weeks notice. I thought it was in poor taste that they advertised my position online before suggesting I may be laid off because it resulted in someone coming in to turn in their resume to me for my position. It was in poorer taste that the current office manager said nothing of it but "she's so old!" after the woman had left. For a company that stresses how green it is it drove me nuts how they have no recycling bins. It was very stressful dealing with police when they called and I don't think the company should have put anyone in that position. I also disagreed with the ethics of the misleading tactics taught to the sales guys to persuade homeowners that their homes were in worse condition than they actually were (like raising heat guns to the highest point to suggest that the average temperature is much higher in the attic), or that they weren't being pests just because someone kept answering them. I also felt like many of these guys were under the impression that this position had job growth when in reality even the people who did really well and were with the company for years were still mostly indistinguishable in their duties from regular sales and marketing employees. Lastly, I have to agree that the atmosphere is "like a frathouse" more than what you might expect of a business.
