Pros

N/A - and I truly tried hard to think of some to list.

Cons

Openly, I would like to state that although I no longer work for this company, I have remained as objective and factual as possible in this review. I have not let any personal feelings obstruct the message. My main intention is to educate any people that are considering this company as their future workplace. CONS: - Upper management most definitely plays favorites - Training is underdeveloped - They expect more of new employees than they should (work and information overload) and actively seek out mistakes to catch you on - Instead of a positive atmosphere, it is tense and you are afraid to ask questions or make a mistake I worked there for 3 months, and in that time span, the company lost nearly 10 employees. There is a clear and definitive reason this company's turnover rate is so high: They do not seem to genuinely care for their employees. Their main and only focus is output, output, output. When a company's only focus is getting work done quickly, important factors are disregarded, such as: employee satisfaction, growth, trust, atmosphere, etc. A positive environment and especially TRUST between employees and employers are both conducive and 100% necessary to produce good work. More specifically, here is an excerpt from one of the most classic books written by Stephen Covey in 7 Habits of Highly Effective People that describes how FusionZONE operates: Stephen wrote: "I have seen the consequences of attempting to shortcut [the] natural process of growth often in the business world, where executives attempt to "buy" a new culture of improved productivity, quality, morale, and customer service with strong speeches, smile training, and external interventions, or through mergers, acquisitions, and friendly or unfriendly takeovers. But they ignore the low-trust climate produced by such manipulations. When these methods don't work, they look for other techniques that will - all the time ignoring and violating the natural principles and processes on which a high-trust culture is based." All employee satisfaction put aside - the work they produce (since they mostly care about the speed in which it is produced) is often subpar. In order to get work done quickly, quality falls through the cracks.

Pros

Most of the coworkers were very friendly and had a strong sense of comrodery as a result. Fully remote work allows for some flexibility. Generally inclusive and diverse.

Cons

The clientele (car dealers) that you work with can at times be both incredibly rude and demanding. The pay for the amount of work and number of hours put in is far below industry average. (Especially for devs) Constant layoffs and downsizing makes it feel as if you're auditioning for your job daily. There's little to no opportunity for upward movement within the company. When it comes to upward mobility most people get a title change, and a small pay bump that barely accounts for the rise of inflation. The management system is generally lacking, using a "POD" system. Rather than report to the head of your respective department, you report to a manager that has been put in place above a group of people all from different departments. Reporting to and having your performance evaluated by someone who has little to no experience working in your area can be frustrating. Overall the auto industry as a whole is on the decline and Fusionzone is not immune to these effects. What was once an inviting company with promise of growth has degraded in to a husk of it's former self. Judging by the general decline in the last few years the best hope Fusionzone has of staying afloat is an acquisition from a former competitor.
