Pros

Coworkers are hard working & team oriented. The upside of having destructive senior leadership is that the rest of the team bands together to support each other. Good place to go if you have relatively little experience, get what equates to a modestly paid internship, learn your trade, then move on to greener pastures.

Cons

It is clear to all involved, the company only exists to make money for the owners at any cost, not to do a service for the clients, staff or the general business community. Clients become testing ground for an inexperienced employee base & absence of constructive leadership. Constantly failed projects make explosively angry clients. The owners ignore hostile clients and instead dump them back on their employees to deal with. Only when law suits are threatened/filed do the owners pay any attention to the clients they have failed. Successful team members are looked at as threats, rather than assets, by the owners - and they systematically hold people back from achieving anywhere near their potential. Decisions are made based out of fear & reaction, rather than confidence & proaction. Employees are regularly worked very long hours (60-80/week), compensated at the lower end of the commensurate pay scale for their positions, and often fired without cause when they ask for fair wages. If you leave the company on your own accord, it is widely known internally that you must be prepared for vindictiveness and vengeance from the owners, professionally, financially, and ethically.

Pros

Solid leadership, and the feedback I get from clients is that we are highly structured, extremely well-organized, very polished and professional. Technical knowledge and experience here at Forix is elite. From a sales and business development standpoint, it's comforting to know that we have the ability to execute at a high-level for clients when they come on board.

Cons

Preparation and effort are necessary to succeed, so I suppose if you are a slacker, then those might be cons.

Pros

I guess work from home Fridays.

Cons

Forix provides virtually no training or ongoing development. Management micromanages every aspect of your workflow but saves any and all feedback for reviews. There is no constructive feedback or development given in the course of an average day. The company is a revolving door of bad hires, quality employees leaving and new hires being let go after 60 days for not “being where they need to be” after receiving virtually no training. There are no bonuses, minimal time off, the pay is far below industry standard for what is expected of you. Management is constantly changing processes and procedures to the point that the entire role can change every few weeks. Although it’s a small company, there is extremely little communication from the top down. The office culture does not encourage collaboration, feedback for leadership in any way, or transparency.
