Where do I begin? - Anonymous employee Isotropic Networks Employee Review

Isotropic Networks, the company’s motto is “Unrivaled Certainty” Let’s break that down. Unrivaled: -adjective 1. having no rival or competitor; having no equal; incomparable; supreme Certainty: -noun,plural cer·tain·ties. 1. the state of being certain. 2. something certain; an assured fact. This is 100% accurate, as a former employee I can assure you that Isotropic Networks has no rivals, and that’s a fact, there is likely no worse employer in southeastern Wisconsin. The only way you could possibly enjoy working here is if, and only if, you enjoy daily harassment. During the anti-harassment training our company had, the “Chief Catalyst” (co-owner/ceo/founder) informed the speaker he is already great at harassment and shouldn’t need to sit through the training. If you are not him or share his last name you are literally nothing, even a worm could have more importance to him. I can assure you there will be days when no matter what you do, he will make you feel as if you are nothing but a worm that he wants to stomp on. Not only does he enjoy harassment, he enjoys making “joking” threats to his employees. Whether it’s “I will sick my dog on you” or “If I come back there, I’m going to punch him in the throat”. Remarks like these are entirely unprofessional and not expected in a workplace environment. In addition to the poor treatment of employees at Isotropic Networks, expect subpar pay as well. I started as a Network Operations Center Technician, so professional call center employee at Isotropic Networks. I didn't mind the position at first, but after my first review which led to no pay rate increase, I began to quickly lose interest in the company. Until all of a sudden the role of System Administrator opened up internally. I then began that role, with the hopes of an increase in pay, HA. Upon accepting that role, my job requirements and expectations quickly increased, but the pay didn't. After 90 days I did get a bit of a raise thanks to HR hounding the Chief Catalyst to push some more cash my way. But it was still far under the 1% low of salary expectations within the state of Wisconsin. Fast forward to my recent departure, the Chief Catalyst quickly realized I was looking for my out. He offered me a position in which would actually come with better pay, still far under the 1% low, at least for the expectations. In which I requested it on paper, but that was an unreal request, because I must "not trust" the Chief Catalyst. Of course I didn't trust him. Enough being negative, there were some positives about Isotropic Networks. The people. My coworkers were all amazing, since we were all in the same boat we could get along. From my manager in the NOC to my manager in IT. Both were AMAZING to work for, it was just the unbearable OWNERSHIP. And finally the HR manager, she was AMAZING, come to her with any problem and she would give it her best to fix the problems. Unfortunately most stemmed from the Chief Catalyst. Thank you for attending my TEDx talk about poor employment. Side note: Expect a good review right after this one, since half the reviews (the “good” ones) are made by the ownership.
