Pros
Before COVID-19 the work culture at BE was great. Potlucks, outings, happy hours etc. BE employees work very hard. Collaboration is key to succeeding in your role.
Cons
The management team at BE are inexperienced in the roles they manage. They do not lead by example. Management consistently assigns more tasks to their employees than is achievable, and forces the employees to work UNPAID overtime in order to complete said tasks. If these over-assigned tasks are not complete you will get chewed out by your manager and receive a bad annual review. Management is very passive aggressive, unsupportive and unapproachable. They openly trash talk employees in the presence of their peers. Job security is non-existent. They have done reorganizations of their entire organization and laid off many dedicated employees so that they may save $. Employee morale is in the gutter. Turnover rate is very high, especially in Sales. Many employees have quit to due their mental health deteriorating with the amount of work and unreasonable sales quotas assigned. Salary is very low compared to other companies in the same industry. Annual raises are a joke, less than an additional dollar per hour. Annual bonuses are very minimal compared to the amount of work the employee is assigned. Promotions are very rare. They choose to hire from external applicants rather than promote from within. Unsavory business practices include layoffs, lying to customers about the status of their orders in order to save face when operational processes are in fact lacking and causing delays.
