I did it for 6 years, never again. Employees don't know how to solve VERY simple issues with other employees so they come to HR with everything. My first question would be, "How did the conversation go with John when you brought this issue up?" and I would just get a blank stare.

And the owner of the company had some crappy employee related ideas. I had to present them as great to the employees and not say a peep about how much I went to bat for them while they yelled at me.

There is a lot of bloat and I don't care the direction the dicipline has taken the last 10 years but it is a stressful job for someone who cares about the employees.

Not sure what they get paid, but our HR folks do nothing.

They can’t recruit for crap, so rely on us to take time out of our schedules and run on campus recruiting events at local universities.

We constantly fight about job descriptions, since theirs are total crap and we get garbage resumes because you can’t really tell what the job is.

They can’t properly screen resumes since they don’t really know what we do.

They refuse to acknowledge and address regional compensation differences. I live in Charlotte and work in banking. This city is the HQ for Bank of American, Truist, and Wells Fargo’s largest employment center. That skews compensation. You have to pay people here more than other southeastern cities to compete for talent.

Oh and we had one actual issue with an employee where some assistance from HR on a very sensitive matter would have been a ton of help. They of course did nothing.
