Barrett Business Services reviews

EVERYTHING ELSE - Not sure if the company values investors or clients higher, but employees are most definitely a distant third regardless of who is first or second - The benefits suck--one week of vacation after a year; expensive insurance (ironic given that BBSI operates in the insurance space); NO MERIT INCREASES EVER - The culture sucks--no trust in employees, leadership leads by utilizing fear and intimidation to achieve results; I could blame the culture on backstabbing employees but really they only do it because they are afraid and feel like looking out for their own backs is the only way to survive, even if it means throwing their peers under the bus--hurting people hurt people; for a company that encourages customers to focus on their culture it is a lesson in hypocrisy to see how they do NOT practice what they preach - The company actually chuckles at its dysfunction; they tell funny anecdotes about the founder of the company who used to sit in the lobby of the corporate office on the Christmas Eve and the day before Thanksgiving to make certain that no one left a minute early. Funny, hahaha... And many of the leaders of the company find it so funny that they decide to keep that culture and tradition alive and thriving.

Benefits are horrible. No annual increase. Upper management has no clue of what goes out in the field. CEO is in over his head since the CFO got in hot water with the money mismanagement. The good employees they do have run off and don't stick around. The " organizational development team" don't have a clue on how to motivate an organization or how to motivate a team. If you are looking for a career steer clear of this company. They sell workers compensation insurance YOU WILL NOT BE A CONSULTANT! You will be forced to sell their overpriced insurance to poor unsuspecting people.
