Cons

Whitewashed. Very little diversity. DEI is non-existent. This gets blamed on lacking diversity in Montana and the target market. It's not that hard to hire a diverse workforce with remote workers these days. Sure, there are other women, but not nearly enough to make it feel egalitarian. Malevolent and Draconian HR policies. The policies set up by HR seem to be copy/pasted from larger HR organizations that have trouble with an oversized workforce. It no longer feels like the small, friendly, personal organization that they made it out to sound like. Almost no growth opportunities. I tried to set up a career plan with my manager for almost a year. They had no idea how to improve their employee's skillets. They pretty much told me I needed to figure it out on my own. They were too busy to think about improving their workers skills. Management will sacrifice people for their numbers. If they can't find someone to blame, they gaslight someone into thinking all the troubles of onX are their fault. Hard work and genuine effort are overlooked unless you made a personal sacrifice to make up for poor planning. It doesn't really matter what you do within work hours unless you are making up for someone else's laziness and lack of foresight. Compensation is lower than average and salary discussions are a race to the bottom. They would rather hire people from the outside rather than promote someone who deserves it from within the company. One of the managers is a total creep. They kept touching me while we were meeting in person and liked to hang out with the much younger women at work. I occassionally heard him making objectifying remarks and "sizing up" women coworkers to see how quick he could get his hands down their pants... How am I expected to feel safe in this environment when one or more of the men in management want to play grab-ass? How am I expected to feel like I can report this behavior in person when I can't trust HR to do the right thing?

onX Response

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I will admit I found your feedback a bit soul crushing on a personal level and it is very clear that something is off with our communication on important issues. First and foremost, I am most concerned about your experience with “one of the managers”. onX is a company with zero tolerance for this type of behavior. Your experience triggered some bad memories for me personally from early in my career when I was inappropriately touched by a person in authority. I experienced a range of emotions starting with disbelief, anger and fear. I didn’t want to report it because I felt for some reason I would get blamed, I didn’t want attention and I didn’t think anyone would believe me. It was stressful, I thought I was tough. I can handle this myself. But after careful thought, I was worried that it might happen to someone else, I would have felt horrible if it happened to someone else and so I reported it. The company that I worked for believed me and came to find out there were others. I did the right thing though it wasn’t at all comfortable. onX is also a company that does not tolerate this type of behavior. Please consider reaching out to me to share your experience or at a minimum please send more details to the anonymous channel so that we can investigate. I am certain that you too will want to put an end to it. It looks like you are in Bozeman. I am located in MSO but am open to meet with you wherever you are located in a location where you feel most comfortable. Just send an email directly to me at jann.butler@onxmaps.com Also, our CEO Laura Orvidas is located in the Bozeman office and would love the opportunity to meet with you if that works better for you. As for the other issues, it looks like we are lacking some communication. onX is a company that began in Montana in the predominantly male dominated hunt business.Naturally, at that point in time we had a more male dominated workforce. With the move to two additional products and a more distributed workforce, the demographics of our workforce has shifted significantly. It does take time to make that shift but we are passionate about ensuring that the demographics of our workforce align with the demographics of our customer base to ensure we are aligned with our new and emerging customers. Look for a DEI page coming soon to Confluence with more information. Also, with the shift to a more distributed population, onX has also shifted our compensation structure to align with a more national vs. regional structure. Unlike other companies who are adjusting pay by location, onX has elected to nationalize our structures. You have identified some other areas I am eager to understand as well to better understand your point of view with some specifics. Again, please feel free to use the anonymous channel. Our CEO receives those and researches each and every one in detail or you can reach out to our CEO directly. As a leadership team we are eager for feedback and learning where we can do better. I sincerely appreciate your honesty and candor. I do hope to hear from you directly or through the anonymous channel. Also, feel free to reach out directly to our CEO Laura Orvidas. Thank you in advance for your courage to share more details. Jann Butler VP, People
