Pros

I did meet some nice people while I was there and it started out good. But then the business changed.

Cons

The business model changed from a managed services provider to outsource call center after the first year. As a result, my role changed completely but I committed to the new responsibilities. The person I reported to went more than a month without meeting with, or even speaking to, me. When we did talk, his feedback was positive but I found out later he and other senior leaders were not happy with me. The site leader is more of a dictator/manager than a leader and decisions seem to be made without regard for impact to people. There is a lack of foresight and strategic planning, instead a "just get it done" mentality. I saw a total lack of appreciation for the people side of the equation. The main focus is to put up the "smoke and mirrors" to get new clients and cut costs in every way. Feels like a sweatshop.

Thank you for your candid feedback. It is clear we failed you and for that I am sorry. Our employees are our biggest asset and it appears we may have dropped the ball with opportunities for better communication. As with any business, we change to meet the needs of the market and industry and of course to remain competitive. Communication is a powerful tool and should be used daily. We have made great strides over the last couple of months to be more visible as a leadership team, engage in conversations with all employees and establish more formal meetings where we meet with employees to discuss business and share ideas with each other. We hope you have found success in your new venture!

Pros

The company really does promote from within to a point. If you have any college education, and are good with people, you can go far.

Cons

They will never directly admit it, but you can not get past a supervising roll without a college degree. You can essentially run a department for years, but when they officially fill the management role, they will hire outside the company for someone with any degree instead of the person who has the work experience. Without a diploma you will never get a salaried management position in this company. An associates degree in art history will get you further than 20 years experience in customer service.
