Pros

I don't really have any positive viewpoints about this company

Cons

This company is one of the most poorly managed organizations I have ever worked for. The focus is so heavily on micromanaging employees and maintaining 'accountability' that they lose sight of achieving actual business goals. It’s the type of place that will spend ten dollars to save one, which leads to inefficiency and frustration among employees. Although I’m constantly told the company is growing, I’ve seen no personal rewards for this supposed growth. There are no bonuses, pay raises, light duty days, equipment upgrades, promotions, or even an increase in PTO. Management doesn’t ask employees for feedback on what kinds of rewards or incentives would be appreciated. Instead, they operate on assumptions and provide little to no communication with their staff. Worse still, any attempt to give feedback is met with retaliation, creating a toxic environment where employees are afraid to speak up. This can’t be healthy for long-term success. The company is over-managed, with layers of oversight that stifle productivity. When things inevitably fall behind, the blame is placed on the team rather than acknowledging the need for better planning or more staff. Instead of hiring people who can improve workflows and get things done, they pour money into management tools and tracking systems that bog down day-to-day operations. Inevitably this leads to working late hours or being asked to work weekends. If things were being ran properly, there would be no need for things to always come down to the eleventh hour. Even if you do work extra hard and put in extra hours, there is no recognition for your hard work and determination. Most of the time you are just rewarded with more work. The work itself is not even interesting, but management likes to pretend it is. There’s a serious culture problem here, but leadership is either unwilling or uninterested in addressing it. Another major issue within the company is the constant reshuffling, moving, and deleting of files and folders without proper communication. These changes frequently disrupt key applications, forcing employees to waste time searching for critical files or, worse, attempting to rely on memory to locate them. Files that are essential to our work are often deleted without warning, leading to chaos and inefficiencies. The lack of a standardized process for managing files, combined with the absence of clear communication when changes are made, creates confusion and hinders productivity. It’s incredibly frustrating to have to spend more time tracking down resources than actually working on tasks that matter. Too much employee time is wasted on busy work and low-priority tasks, rather than focusing on projects that could drive revenue. Task management is chaotic, and the lack of foresight in planning leaves employees stuck with unproductive, repetitive assignments. They do not properly plan projects and they wait until the last minute to decide a project is a priority. Everything is an emergency at this place to the point you don't know what a real emergency is anymore. Overall, this company’s refusal to listen to its employees and its poor planning have led to an unsustainable and demoralizing work environment. I just will close with one final thought. They sure are proud of their fancy new office. I'm not sure why they are making an office a priority. Taking care of their people and their customers and making money should be the priority, not a boring, building. The paradigm shifted in the nation to where many employees no longer want to commute but apparently management didn't get the memo.

Pros

I genuinely can’t think of any other than it’s a job in this terrible economy and fortunate to have a paycheck.

Cons

If you read the company’s replies here, it’s a lot of words that don’t actually say anything. It feels more like optics than accountability. As a long time employee, I’ve seen multiple leadership changes and none of them have improved the quality of work or the culture in any real way. Some of the more recent leadership hires have only made things worse. Experienced employees are being let go, while the people who stay are expected to take on work that isn’t even part of their role. Everything feels disorganized and reactive instead of intentional. On top of that, there’s very little flexibility. Schedules are rigid and even PTO is handled in a way that feels overly strict and nickel and dimed rather than supportive. The overall approach to employees feels transactional, not like people are actually valued. There is also a heavy level of micromanagement. Even in situations where employees were allowed to work remotely due to weather, there was constant pressure to account for time and activity in a way that felt excessive and unnecessary. Calling it “growing pains” doesn’t make sense at this point it’s been years of the same issues while adding new ones regularly. At some point, it’s just how the company operates. It’s honestly surprising the company has some solid clients because internally things feel inconsistent, impersonal and most times chaotic. There’s no clear and consistent direction and leadership really just pretends to know what they’re doing. At the end of the day what’s presented externally doesn’t match the day to day reality internally.
