Barrett Business Services reviews

Toxic management culture. Management tells you it is a flexible work environment but tracks when you come in, when you leave, and how long your breaks are. Doesn't set clear expectations or provide training but expects immediate results.

It's a great place to work - but there are 4 cons. 1) As in all places, there are some office politics, and power struggles that don't need to exist. There is an attempt to make one member of a team be a "leader" even though this is not part of the position / job description - and all players on the team are to be treated as equals. This one issue causes strife amongst a large portion of the workforce. But it can be easily overcome if you don't let yourself get pushed around. 2) Once you are hired, your salary is set. The company currently does not have a method for keeping salaries at market meridians. Your pay is supplemented by profit sharing and bonuses. There are some disparities with this method, but the company has been working to make this more equitable. 3)Offices. Everyone works in pods with their team, and it can be very noisy and hard to have a phone conversation or even concentrate. Of course, this varies with personalities, but overall it is a widely complained about issue. 4) Lack of diversity in executive leadership.
