A place for growth - CIO Adicio Employee Review

In the jobs I have had so far in my life, this one I can say is one that I not only love coming to each day, but I also have learned more from than any other, by far. Loads of very Smart people here in business, and in technology development. Upper management is seasoned, experienced in the extreme, know this business, the Internet to the extreme and are real technology veterans in the SaaS space and in the creation of job site, and the recruitment and advertising business overall. The staff are as nice as they are smart. Company is moving to new offices down right off the beach in Carlsbad. Everyone I talk to is thrilled about the move. The client growth outside of Newspapers is great. The Professional Associations, Industry and Trade Journal Niche type clients also seem to be much more focused on real business, growing their businesses, and traffic than newspapers. I'm glad to see so many coming in over the past year or 2.

My Cons are not for the company, but for the unethical ex-staff and ex-managers that I have found and even heard slandering people here at the company and the company itself, because they failed in their jobs, and from all I saw, took no responsibility anything. Instead I know for a fact that some have posted here - and were let go by the company 5 or more years ago, and keep posting here. I know one is also working for a competitor in management. It's really sad that they can't move on and get their lives going.

A lot of the coworkers are great people. The pay is competitive.

Management is now cutting corners to the extent that it's obvious the company is going down the tubes. They're taking away the water coolers now because they are trying to save money. They put a filter on the tap in the kitchen instead. Are you kidding me? Are things so bad that we can't afford WATER even? Also they have decided to stop subsidizing the soda machine so a can of soda is going from .50 to .85. Who the hell wants to pay .85 for a can of soda? You can buy them in a 12-pack at Stater Bros. for $3.50. Our Christmas parties have gone from a Del Mar Racetrack Suite to a restaurant to an afternoon event at the Belly Up (on a weekday) to finally this year a gazebo at one of the senior manager's housing complex. So let's get this straight: no water, no sodas - can't afford them (although let's be honest, how much does anyone really think those cost the company? $500/mo maybe?). Masseuse on staff? Yep, we can afford that. Free car detailing for management? Yep, totally in the budget. I really think management thinks we're all a bunch of idiots. "Tap water: if it's good enough for our free car washes, it's good enough for you to drink."
