      Old-fashioned practices; management out of touch with employees, only chases profit and does not appreciate employees

      Training coordinator

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The coworkers are good, diverse staff, benefits (not pay), company events, and bagels on Friday. Half of the office is not freezing in the summer.

      Cons

      There is too much manual work that could be automated if only the company had invested in the tools modern companies use. Things are done backwards and in old-fashioned ways, the processes are clunky or non-existent. Promised improvements take months or years. The management is mostly focused on the bottom line and relies on employees to improve things with the little resources, time and authority they have. This is a "figure out how to do your job yourself" kind of environment. HR works in the interests of management. If you need health based accommodations, forget it. The open floor seating plan allows for no privacy.

      Thank you for your engagement and taking the time to share your feedback. Hearing from current employees is a great way to identify areas of improvement and to make our company a good place to work. I am glad that you are enjoying the culture and the people. Yes, I think mother nature and office facility management could stand to confer every now and again. Temperatures could stand to be regulated a bit more. Definitely keep a sweater or cover-up on standby. While business growing pains are common, it doesn’t make them any less painful. And outgrowing technology can be frustrating. BSI is no different. The good news: BSI is investing in systems to deliver simplified and joined up processes, making it easier to do business. There has already been some strong demonstration of progress this year but more will be rolled out in 2019. Our CEO has defined his vision and shares the Program on the company intranet, and there are opportunities for employees to follow the progress and keep up to date. Innovation and progress isn’t just about the large projects – it often comes from the small, impactful ideas. Our “Innovate@BSI” initiative is an opportunity and forum for employees to share ideas and collaborate. But for it to be successful employees must feel compelled to speak up and drive propositions forward. But for it to be successful employees must feel compelled to speak up and drive propositions forward. I encourage you to contact our Group Innovation Director by email with your suggestions. Thank you again for your thoughts, and I appreciate your hard work. As for privacy, please feel free to use any of the conference rooms we have available to the office. And, we have also added a few small comforts to our Wellness Room.

      Outside Account Manager

      Pros

      Honestly, not much. I did, however, appreciate the 4-weeks vacation with a week off for Christmas (but they work you to the bone so you never get to use it)

      Cons

      Typical high pressure sales job of building the pipeline and having to hit your monthly sales goal. They say it's "consultative sales" but it's just your stereotypical transactional sales role - get the client to sign the dotted line and move on to the next. The lead structure is broken. Most leads go to the inside sales team or the business development managers. When you combine the lack of leads and high pressure sales goal obtainment, all the sales people are constantly fighting for their "fair share." This results in ZERO teamwork amongst the sales organization - it's every person for themselves. If you're a young, pushy sales person who wants to fight (and hunt) for every scrap, put in long hours, and work with unhappy clients, customers, and co-workers, then this job is perfect for you!

      Low Money - Lots of work

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      A place to learn something new and different. Lots of work to keep you busy. Decent commission if you can sell. Large client base to work with. Most of your co-workers are great to work with. Company events and great paid time off / vacation time.

      Cons

      Low pay and very little support with specific things. Very hard to get answers from anyone in a timely manner. Everything is a priority and the knowledge needed to perform the job is hard to come by and understand, especially when you are a new hire. You are expected to just know what you are supposed to do and are also expected to perform almost immediately.
