CT reviews

You are held accountable for your work and sometimes that accountability can extend into micromanagement, but it wasn't bad for me. I know some people don't like it though.

To put it plainly, working at Coalition Technologies was a very negative experience. Joel, Coalition's CEO, treats his employees very poorly. Micromanagement is to an extreme: computers are recorded, a record of daily tasks must be submitted by employees, and tasks are then "graded" by managers to monitor performance. The computers' webcams are also running to record employees. Suffice it to say, Joel has no trust or respect for his employees. Joel hires entry level employees who have very little experience and uses this to his advantage. Employees are hired in with titles like "Office Assistant" or "Digital Producer Trainee," given minimum wage salaries, and then are burdened with the work of a full fledged account manager or web developer. This of course also is a disservice to the Coalition's clients, as their accounts are put in the hands of employees who are undertrained and overburdened with an incredible amount of work. Suffice it to say, this is the company entry level employees are warned about. Joel's unpredictable moods, poor business acumen, and basic lack of respect for others makes it plain that Coalition Technologies is not a business with much long term promise. Also, yes, the positive reviews are fake. I'm sure in a couple days there will be a post following this one about what an exciting workplace CT is and how if you didn't like it you must have not liked to work very hard. But that's basically Coalition in a nutshell.
