Do Not Work Here

Anonymous employee
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

There are a few good people, but they are way outnumbered by people who don’t care about you.

Cons

I wouldn’t even know where to start except to say just stay away. This is the worst job I’ve ever had. It has been a horrible experience from the beginning. There is no support and no care about the people who work here. If you are thinking about coming to work here don’t. You will be sorry when you see the low morale and realize that you have no way to know when the next layoff will be. Senior management knows how bad it is and doesn’t care about making it better.

Good experience building skills, but processes and leadership need work

Vendor management specialist
Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

Opportunity to gain hands-on experience in vendor management and compliance. Exposure to cross-functional teams and leadership chain. Fast-paced environment with a lot of learning opportunities.

Cons

• Lack of innovation in processes and systems—lots of manual workarounds. • Leadership communication can be inconsistent, with changing expectations. • Workload can become overwhelming with limited support. • Career development and advancement paths are unclear. • High pressure with tight deadlines and frequent changes.
