Sales - Anonymous employee COMPAREX Employee Review

What a difference 18 months makes. New leadership in the US has been focused on improving the culture, the morale, and profitability of the organization. New offices, better benefits, better marketing support... the list goes on.

Like any company, there are some things that can be better. Much of the workforce is remote and it can be tough to develop relationships with colleagues. I wish they would bring the whole team in more than 1-2 times a year to help foster those relationships a little more.

Colleagues in delivery and support are wonderful to work with - Raleigh office is cool and the location is right downtown in the Warehouse district.

No career advancement - I was refused training and certification courses because they did not think I needed it to perform my current job (meaning = they did not want to spend the money). They are not invested in their employees and do not have career paths established for any position. I had asked for a compensation increase that would match what someone in my position and experience would be making in the area I live, and was told they would only give me a 3% increase (not even close to what I had asked for). Many people on the delivery side did not get recognized for any of their accomplishments or their superior execution on projects that were terribly scoped by sales. Luckily, I have found another position, but the week that I left, many people were laid off without any warning. They hired a whole bunch of people and tried to be a profitable start-up within a year. That does not happen, period. It was a stupid move and HR and management are to blame for a lot of their problems.
