ENGIE reviews

We recently were given notice of our annual merit raises. Up until this year, the maximum given was 4%. This year, they decided that the maximum would be lowered to 2.5%, claiming that they want to focus on quarterly bonuses because they're "more useful." First, quarterly bonuses are based on goals that must be met, meaning that if they are not given, the employees themselves can be blamed for it instead of the company itself. Second, more taxes are taken from the bonuses than from paychecks. Third. having a continuous, guaranteed higher pay is a good thing. Second, while they were "generous" enough to start paying us the new minimum wage in the state two months early, this took at least three positions with different skill levels to the same pay. They're "looking at" compression, so they say. They've said this before, every year since I've worked there (7 years), because compression is a constant problem there. They've done little bits here and there, but not nearly enough. It seems that greed is becoming Engie Impact's mantra. Note: Last year, a huge client was signed, meaning the company got a nice large boost in revenue. It would be nice if they would feel inclined to pass that on to employees in a permanent fashion. Lies and broken promises seem to be the specialties of this company. It's far too bad that employees look to have voted down unionizing (something the company sent an e-mail out discouraging). We sure need it.

ENGIE Insight is a fast growing company that has a lot of change. If you are someone who loves the opportunities that come with that, it is a great place to be. People looking for a conservative environment with little change may be less satisfied.
