Pros

Beautiful and convenient corporate office with snacks, drinks, team building events, and lots of friendly faces. Multiple private planes that some corporate employees have the privilege to travel in. Benefits are generous but very mediocre in comparison to organizations the same size. Lots of departments and availability to try out working with or on other teams. Company is continuing to grow, acquire more businesses, and revenue is not wavering by any means. Overall friendly atmosphere, and work-life balance is great for most employees organization-wide. Most people work here several years, and there's a lot of employees who are younger and of all genders. There's definitely a strong presence of equality regardless of gender, age, sexual orientation, body modifications (i.e. tattoos), race, ethnic group, etc. Although, if you look around, most of the younger women look the same which is kind of concerning if you think about it.

Cons

The company is growing rapidly. The growing pains are REAL and CLEAR and it's frustrating that so many leaders are incapable of managing expectations of their teams and stakeholders and therefore every task/project turns into an emergency and last minute fire drill. Lots of nepotism and other similar arrangements, which I have seen become an unfair disadvantage to others. Executive team and regional leaders are clueless, arrogant, and often rude individuals but are never reprimanded. Need to do better, CSIG! In terms of benefits, health care could be better. The deductibles are high with HSA's, but HSA contributions don't even cover half of the deductible for an individual plan. Also the 401K match is a joke, it's like $250 total. Not much room for substantial lateral growth unless you're buddy-buddy with someone high up. Most people move between depts versus up the latter where they're at. CEO Dan is.... interesting. Comes across as a wishy washy wealthy guy who refuses to use a laptop to oversee his company.... 10/10 will put his feet up on a conference room table while conversing with a group. Unprofessional.

No benefits, long hours, high expectations without pay, very little time off, unstable, people are fired all the time. Job is listed before they are gone and someone new starts the day after they are fired.

Hello, Unfortunately, we don't have a role matching your description but are still here to help. All of our full-time employees receive benefits and PTO. In order to best support our teams, we have created a standard hiring process that we adhere to when positions need to be filled. We do offer monthly check-ins for each employee to go over any concerns they have with their leader and we encourage all our employees to take advantage of these. Lastly, we believe it is important to encourage our employees to give us feedback on sites like this one because it helps us improve. If you would like to discuss your review further, please call Pam Hayes at (810) 220-2655.

Pros

Strong atmosphere, driven/goal oriented environment; positive overall message of fantastic service based work. Ideas abounding, seeking to constantly improve. Some nicer daily amenities for employees than many other companies.

Cons

Entrepreneurial based, which leads to constant changes in company's direction and even more constant personnel change. They will advise that their main focus is still the same, but it becomes more convoluted the deeper one dives in. Growing company... growing so fast, that there is insufficient time for proper onboarding, training, retraining, process improvement, or performance evaluation. Company is growing new businesses at an almost frantic rate, and is not sufficiently learning from mistakes from past growth issues ( I.e. insufficient staff to complete job at hand). Frequent changes in management cause lack of consistency, and overall impatience by C levels. In my tenure, received ZERO performance feedback, after my supervisor missed meeting after meeting to discuss. There were no attempts to resolve or change or improve any issues with performance.
