Many fake/positive reviews on Glassdoor - overall OK place to work - Manager BIP.Monticello Employee Review

Rather than fix the actual issues with the firm, leadership has pushed interns to post fake positive reviews. Any 5 star reviews are obviously fake. Think about this. What person would have zero criticisms?? This should be a red flag to anyone considering this firm. -Mgmt dumps extra “side projects” onto you without regard to client responsibilities, or personal time, leading to working on weekends, holidays, etc. let me be clear: this is BRUTAL & MANIPULATIVE. They dangle the raise/promotion carrot and ask you to write procedure docs, manuals, white papers (positive Glassdoor reviews) and then will make an excuse for not giving a raise or promotion. This is a leading cause of the ~18 month avg turnover. -will take you through 4-5 interviews, then will not make an official offer for MONTHS until they actually sell the work -potential unpaid furlough -very few women work here. I won’t speculate to the reason, just stating a fact. -May have to travel, despite marketing itself as a local firm -no bereavement, or paternity leave. Typical PTO is 15 days, which includes EVERYTHING ie sick, vacation, bereavement, etc. -huge attrition issue- avg. employee tenure is 12-18 months -forced to take PTO around holidays, even if the client allows remote work. If you have no PTO left, you won’t get paid. -1 main client: almost entire business depends on a single client -referral bonus take 12-18 months for payout. This kid about this. Most people leave after about a year so you probably will get get paid for a referral -no true 401K March until year 4 *read the fine print in your offer letter -leadership raised hourly rates to clients, but then gave zero bonuses and blamed it on COVID
