My manager set no goals. I received an email in Feb (appraisal was April-March following year) that I did Ok but have to do better to get more money or be promoted. No goals again next year. Same feedback. Forced my manager to set goals for the following year. Managers changed. Had to start over. Left my jobs. If a company says that there are no fixed goals or no fixed vacation days, run. Run and dont look back.
