Overworked & underpaid - Anonymous employee FORT Systems Employee Review

This year I'll have been working at FORT for 10 years, and I'd definitely recommend working there. If there was something I learned from my first few jobs, it was the thing that makes you enjoy working at a company is the people. My fellow co-workers are knowledgeable and always lend a hand if you need it. As a women in computer science I can say it's so wonderful working in a job where I feel safe and am never treated in a patronizing manner. One of things that I love most about working at FORT in the family-like treatment and kindness. When I had hadn't been working at FORT that long, I had a medical emergency and I needed to stay in the hospital for about a week and a half. I was not doing well, was freaking out about running out of vacation days, and was so fearful of losing my job. The first thing my bosses said was "We hope you feel better soon. Don't worry about your days off, take as much time as you need.". I think that experience really shows the kind of people you will find at FORT.

Sometimes you need to work outside of regular business hours if there is a critical issue, or you need to push something to live so customers aren't inconveninced. However, FORT is wonderful about being flexible with regular business hours for you if you need to go the doctor or something - I feel like you get back what you give.

Small company with hard working staff
