Pros
Let me start this review by saying the majority of people who are employees in this organization are good people. They really do care (about each other, the company, the clients) and work hard. Unfortunately for them they are in a situation where they are continuously setup to fail. There is no commitment to process or procedure (or reality for that matter) which makes it near impossible to be successful. The only PRO I would say is that it’s a job/paycheck. In addition they do provide catered lunches a couple times a month, have lunches to welcome new employees and have a Thanksgiving feast and Holiday party every year.
Cons
Workday: as other reviews have stated work/life balance is fairly nonexistent here. There is this mentality,”everyone stays until fixed”. In my opinion, “just make it happen” isn’t an effective business strategy. Your day will consist of putting out fires as they arise. At first this can seem exciting. After a bit it is wearing. Then shortly after that it becomes very disheartening as you can never make any forward progress or feel a sense of accomplishment. This is a direct result of decisions made by upper management. Culture: the culture here is one of fear and stress. The CEO is verbally abusive and hostile to his employees but has this idea that lunches and happy hours and holiday parties make his utter lack of respect for the people that work with him acceptable. This is not a culture of learning or personal or professional growth. There is no ongoing training. There is no unifying mission. It is every person for themselves which results in a lot of infighting and a woeful lack of communication (effective or not) between departments. Leadership: the CEO is 100% the root issue at this organization. He is verbally abusive to people that show up to work everyday, work nights, work weekends, give up their personal time out of loyalty to him (well to be fair, for a paycheck too of course). There is no idea of a partnership between company and employee here. You are expected to be effective in an environment that ensures failure and then are held accountable when you do fail. Leadership sets unrealistic expectations with the customer which they then expect the employee to deliver on. Leadership does not care about the professional growth of their people. It’s not even on the radar.
