Pros

Free cake and snacks monthly. The lower level people are pretty cool to work with most of the time. My paycheck was never late (although not always accurate)

Cons

The upper level management and C level people are not nice or friendly. It you don’t fit their mold you will not make it there at all, they will use you and spit you out when they are done. They also don’t care if you are arrested after you work their, convicted or not most real companies won’t allow anyone who’s on trail for multiple felonies to stay employed, but at channelnet they don’t care and they’ll even have people cover for them to allow them to meet with lawyers and stuff. Be careful what you say because people will use it to stab you in the back, word of advice trust no one with anything. Also be prepared to work well over 40 hours and receive no overtime pay or flex time....also if you do have to work overnight and on call hours be prepared to be there during core hours as well because if your not they’ll dock your pay.

Pros

Some of the people (NOT UPPER MANAGEMENT) are great to work with

Cons

The list is so long, I would run out of room listing it all. Others have said it very well as to what the environment is really like. Be prepared to: Be Harassed by Upper Management. There is no HR person with any knowledge, so whatever they want to say or do is on the table at any time. Be asked to work many hours without getting anything for it. It is forgotten when you work extra hours, but not when you need to leave early for an appointment. You will be told you will be docked in that situation. Watched constantly to make sure you are at your desk by 9:00am and do not leave before 5:00pm. Told whatever you do is not good enough and that you should be doing it better. A sign of a good company is that they can handle change well. ChannelNet does not have that capability due to the CEO. You will be asked to drop billable work in order to handle a request from the CEO, then questioned why your billable hours are so low.

Horrible company and CEO

Pros

Nice co-workers. Easy parking. Cafeteria in building. Big clients.

Cons

Every Friday night I vow to myself that I will give notice on Monday morning. But I feel trapped by the Detroit economy so maybe someone can call my bluff this coming week. Channelnet is a horrible place to work for one main reason – Paula Tompkins. She is either a narcissist or a sociopath. I can’t believe what she subjects her employees to on a regular basis especially now that we are tanking financially. I give us 6 months at best. No one will buy Channelnet because of her reputation. Clients quit because they don’t want to do business with her. She screams and has temper tantrums. She holds weekly meetings where she berates everyone in the room and does that randomly to people in the hallway any day of the week no matter who is around. It’s sickening. She gossips about employees past and present and likes it when there is a rift between workers. Shame on me for staying.
