The Truth about Consolidus - Anonymous employee Consolidus Employee Review

This might be one of the more valuable posts to our Glassdoor profile. It gives us an excellent opportunity to provide further insight into our company with specific details that would have otherwise been missing from our profile. So, please take a few minutes and review the following. The person who posted this review certainly provides an interesting perspective. This person claims to know the "truth" of Consolidus when it is merely their opinion and one based off of very limited knowledge and time with our company (2-3 months). For the sake of adding clarity to the conversation, here is some information regarding points that were made: 1. First and foremost, we have never asked anyone to post a review contrary to their actual experience with our company. It is true that we have asked people to post reviews so others would gain insight into our company, most often when they have volunteered how positive their experience was with our company, and our response is, 'That's great. Do you mind posting that to our Glassdoor profile". 2. We have had high turnover, but we also have very good longevity. Our rate of hiring is increasing and we do our best to ensure it will be a good mutual fit, but finding capable committed professionals who are eager and motivated to commit at a high level and achieve success has not been easy. We suspect anyone who has been in hiring positions understands this challenge. 3. A number of other comments are just attempts to discredit our company, including the company "being held together by duct tape". Fortunately one person's opinion does not overshadow years of continual growth, our outstanding reputation in our industry, our A+ credit rating, our A+ BBB rating, our multiple awards for being fastest growing in our industry and in the nation and our long list of highly creditable customers who have been with us for years. We have had 20-25% growth every year for the each of the past 5 years. We have achieved this growth with having never taken on debt and maintaining an A+ credit rating. We appreciate this person's belief that we should be growing faster and we feel that way also. 4. it is our objective to hire people who do not need managed. Initially there is close collaboration to acclimate the new hire into their position and our team. We can appreciate how that can feel like micromanagement. 5. It is true that we do not offer PTO within the first 90 days, but we offer generous amounts beyond that. We understand that may not suit some people. We do offer healthy compensation plans including considerable salaries with performance bonus opportunities. This has resulted in an average annual increase in wages of over 16% per year, which is 4 times the national average. 6. The owners does talk a lot about his passion for the company and vision for the future. This is most often perceived as a positive for people who want to work someplace where there is passionate leadership with a compelling vision of the future, and where that "vision" has been continually actualized over the previous 10 years. There are a lot of people giving their opinions out there these days. Consolidus will stay committed to doing the hard work of actually continuing to creating positive change.
