PRESIDENT/CEO: He likes to tout little or no hierarchy, but on the flip side, decisions are bottle necked by him. He is the final word about everything -- and his concern is always the bottom line -- he cares little about efficient process, and generally believes he can do your job better than you can. President/CEO is gruff and condescending, leaves employees feeling stifled and stressed. Employees of all levels trip over themselves to please him but the feeling of being on the chopping block always lingers through the air. Pres/CEO loves to say this is a entrepreneurial company, if that mean stingy and unimaginative, then that's about right.
CONS:
You see real potential in projects and people, but upward mobility is mostly non-existent
Company grows through acquisition only, no organic growth
For a tech company, equipment and software are outdated, old, and often break down
Pay is on the low side of the market, no periodic increases (always talk of raise freeze)
Bonuses to upper management only
Insurance benefits are lacking and very expensive to employees, other benefits dismal
Shirt and tie EVERY day, no casual Fridays
Attendance often taken at the door, no flexibility in working hours, no remote work, no summer hours
Not supportive of ongoing training and furthering education
Frequent turnover, motivated and quality employees leave quickly
Constant talk about big future plans but nothing really happens
Employees asked to contribute positive Glassdoor reviews because of current low %
