Pros

This company is interesting in that they have gathered some really good technical consultants, but the leadership is unbelievable, and not in a positive way. Thus the consultants bumped them up to 2 stars, who are still professional friends.

Cons

These are my observations, but since they will claim I am a disgruntled former employee, I will not mention anything dealing with me, only others. Here are some situations that I witnessed, you can judge this multi-million-dollar company yourself: • Office of about 20 people (of 45 total), they removed the 5-gallon bottle hot-cold water dispenser, because it cost too much - $22 a month. But, they did put a water filter on the faucet. woo-hoo! • Refused to let the travel consultants get the Government sanctioned per-diems (GSA), even though the clients paid for them, because they said the consultants would abuse it. • Even though half the country is visual (retention learning), and half is audio, they refused to use PowerPoint's. Said they were boring. Someone should tell Microsoft. • Laughed about how little they were paying a very competent and hard-working fellow employee.. • They were making very high margins on consulting work, which was great, really great, but refused to share excessive profits with consultants. • The CEO is trained professionally as a salesman. Judge for yourself how that works out in the long run for companies. • One of the owners of the company uses a fake picture on LinkedIn. And it is not even close. Look at all of the officer profiles in LinkedIn – judge for yourself. • They have a leadership position – since 2014 they have had eight people in this one position. Got rid of them all, even though some of them were very talented, including the one they let go in the summer of 2016. • Here is the main kicker and will tell you a lot about this company – a former employee worked their tail off for two years. They were trying to get rid of this person for over a year, just because they thought the person was overpaid (not true). Then they finally let this person go: 1. They gave this person no severance at all, after two years! 2. They are trying to DENY this person from getting unemployment benefits, which I have never seen in over 20 years in Florida. BTW – they replaced this IT person with a person from the death-industry, kid you not. If interviewing here, ask this question of the company's management if: How come you have had eight people filling a certain senior position in less than three years?

I am the CEO mentioned above, and unfortunately I know exactly who wrote this review. This person was allowed to stay on far too long as different people within our organization tried to mentor this person and get them on track. Ultimately it was a dismal failure. Out of all of the things above, there were small snippets of truth taken and twisted. For example, the PowerPoint bullet -- I told this employee I needed real answers on utilization, and not to bore me with a PowerPoint deck. Somehow that got twisted into "we refuse to use PowerPoint". I regret they feel the way they do. Meanwhile we are rocking and rolling and growing like crazy. If you like to be challenged, like to work hard, and have the skillset we have a use for, I'd like to invite you to come try it for yourself. Our employees are our most prized asset. Come see for yourself. Thank you --- Nathan George, President/Flycast Partners

Pros

Flycast Partners is a great company that demonstrates they show genuine concern for the employees and their families. Communication regarding the direction of the company and things going on in the company make it from the top down to the lowest level of employee. The CEO routinely schedules meetings with employees to get their feedback on issues, and is willing to also hear the not so good (of which there is little to complain about). Much generosity is shown with pay, benefits and time off. The company stays in tune with changing market conditions and adjusts accordingly to continue being profitable. Much of the company works remotely, as did I. The only reason I left was because it was time to retire.

Cons

I really cannot think of anything to mention. As with any good job, the work can be a bit challenging at times, but everyone works together to resolve issues.

Thank you for this review. It's a big milestone in our company history that we are beginning to have people retire from Flycast Partners. It's humbling that someone would choose to finish out their career with us and it is appreciated by us. Nathan George, CEO - Flycast Partners

I would disagree with the fact that we provide "no training" but I will acknowledge that as a 100% remote company, training becomes more challenging and we are counting on the employee to put in the effort to make the training successful. We do have ample resources but again, as a remote company, we do require the employee to put the effort in. Unfortunately, sometimes we get a result like in this case where it is just not the right fit. We don't make these decisions lightly and only after it has become clear that it's not the right fit. I do wish this person the best moving forward in their professional career. Nathan George, CEO - Flycast Partners
