Barrett Business Services reviews

Not a nice environment, can turn hostile

This organization is completely unorganized, directionless, and archaic. The leadership team conducts themselves in a cultish manner using symbolism, nomenclature, and a false history to establish an organizational functionality and purpose. They (leadership) seek out exceptional individuals, present a false reality, and then turn around and ridicule and patronize them with phrases such as ‘ego is the problem’ , ‘your pedigree is not wanted here’ , and ‘you will be evaluated by the types of questions you ask not by what you do'. The firms’ structure places everyone in competition, while at the same time disciplines for competitiveness. Bully tactics are as common as the free coffee. However, the free coffee taste good going down. Lastly, no one in the senior leadership sphere can explain how customers are billed, what services BBSI provides, how bonuses are configured, and how the organization has performed over the past 7 years—with supporting documentation.
