In response to "Do not work here" response from HR - Anonymous employee Brightwing Employee Review

Their reply was: "With performance reviews conducted every six months and compensation evaluated every 18 months, employees have clear expectations upon hire as to performance review timelines and earning potential." While this is technically true, I'll translate to what the truth is. There are 3 levels of workers, Level 1, 2 and 3; and they each have criteria. Hitting Level 2 or 3 DOES NOT mean you get a big pay bump, it means you are eligible for consideration of the standard raise of 3% every 18 months (or 2% a year). Not hitting these goals (or hitting them) could mean you get a 0% raise (not even COLA). The Levels are not a way for an employee to advance, but a way for Brightwing to not pay competitive rates. Also, Brightwing says they are "at or below market rates as it relates to our benefits" (healthcare). I find it hard to believe that over $400 a month for health insurance is standard for a single person.
