Businessolver reviews

There are some bright people at Businessolver. Sadly, I've watched several people reach their breaking point with this company within a year of working here. I hope this insight can help anyone that is thinking about working here. These are the common issues I've encountered at Businessolver: -NO raises (they will give you a raise when you threaten them to quit ONLY. Businessolver over-sales and under-delivers but expects all their employees to over-deliver even when its obvious that they have no plan to give employees incentives) Horrible work life balance: It is very easy to get burnt out a Businessolver. This has been the only company I've ever worked at where people leave work in tears. It is very sad because there is a lack of support for those people. Businessolver almost acts like its the employees problem instead of it being a COMPANY problem. The majority of the people in the Des Moines office have kids. Sadly, these people go home with work constantly. Everybody here is pretty stacked with work! So it is very hard to find support and help when you need it. Also, the turnover here adds extra pressure on workload as well. Don't let Businessolver place you in a chain and ball. Stand up for yourself when it comes to your family life and mental health. If they cared about you as a person they would understand. In most cases, I doubt they would care because Businessolver doesn't respect their employees. I just think upper management has grown tired of hearing people call these things out. So instead of acting on it, they've just turned a blinded eye. Terrible quarterly review systems: The quarterly review process is TERRIBLE! The system we used for our quarterly reviews has changed 3 times in the past year! The review ask you questions only about your performance and lacks ways to give feedback to our managers and the Executive team. Remember Businessolver, employees want to evaluate you as well. It isn't just a one way street and not only on how the employees benefit you! Employees need to be heard as well. Furthermore, the review might be a waste of time for the company anyways because they aren't even going to consider giving any raises. Don't expect this company to invest in you. They are solely focused on their growth and not the growth of the people who has helped them get this to where they are now. The CEO has time to sign off on every expense that goes out the companies door and to reject people who have righteously asked for raises, but doesn't have time to even HEAR the issues that employees are having at this company. It's only a matter of time that Businessolver becomes a company to avoid. I see this happening weekly as employees are leaving for better opportunities.

Working at Businessolver is exciting and challenging... even exhilarating at first. But after a few months employees realize it never lets up, and people keep leaving making the new hires pick up the pieces with inadequate training and unrealistic expectations. The result is frustrated clients, angry or disengaged employees and high turnover. Management talks a lot about their culture of "creative chaos" but the creativity is not there, just the chaos. So much time and energy is spent every day fighting fires, trying to calm down upset clients, and desperately seeking help from someone, anyone, who is not completely overwhelmed themselves. There are relatively few employees who have been here more than a couple of years, and they are in ridiculously high demand for their experience and know-how. The workload is way too much, and senior management does not care or even seem to believe it. It's too bad, they have some amazing people who could achieve so much if they were not constantly frustrated due to lack of resources. But employees and management are often adversarial. Senior management is inaccessible and come off as suspicious of any feedback they receive that is not positive. Negative comments, public shaming and client-facing admonishment are not uncommon. The more experienced/effective employees are not incentivised to stay... if you're good at your job, they'll give you more work (sometimes maybe with a new title) but not more money. So they leave. Management adamantly denies that Businessolver has a turnover problem, but it is painfully obvious that we do. Sadly more and more of of us are looking at the door every day. This is a fairly bleak review, but there are people who are happy here and love the madness. And the company is growing... a lot! The product is very good, and sales are strong enough that they can continue to hire like crazy and pretend nothing is wrong. But when the inevitable failure comes I'm afraid it will be spectacular and a lot of good people will be left in the rubble pile.
