Pros

This could actually be a very good company, but they need to look into the company culture. Time-off requests are granted. They encourage you to take your vacation time. Pay is decent, but you could probably make more money elsewhere. People are generally laid-back, most people in this company have families and kids.

Cons

It’s funny how a slew of 5 star ratings came in a little over a week. The HR department probably caught wind of a less than stellar view of the company and asked people to write positive reviews. There is a small group of people that are rabidly biased about this company. This company suffers from groupthink. The lifers have bought into the groupthink and will not bring new ideas to the table. If you’re new this can be very frustrating, and it feels like nothing ever gets done. If you’re interested in being micro-managed then this is the perfect job for you. You’re going to have to log every minute into a homegrown product called GTSWIN. This is a double-edged sword. Logging every minute of your time may be tied to your bonus and/or yearly raise. It’s good while you are getting those raises and bonus because no one is really looking that closely. As soon as you are determined a “B” or “C” player everything gets scrutinized more thoroughly and they will use everything they can against you. “B” and “C” players not necessarily determined on work performance, they are more than likely determined on your relationships with the management team. Firing of people is inconsistent. If the executive team likes you, you’ll be repositioned. If the executive team doesn’t like you, you’ll be fired. This has nothing to do with the actual work you have performed.

Gateway Ticketing Systems Response

Hi Anonymous, Thank you for your feedback. We are always looking to improve Gateway Ticketing Systems and your review is helpful to let us know what to work on. Hopefully you participated in our recent employee survey that was part of our second quarter initiative to focus on culture. I think we've got a great culture here as you can see from the many long-time employees who are passionate about the company and our customers. It's not perfect - no company is - and we know we can always improve and will keep working to do so. You mentioned the need to log your time. It's a basic metric we use for understanding how our business is operating. We use it to understand where our projects are, and to identify support issues to escalate if they're taking longer than expected to resolve for a customer. At times we have provided incentives above and beyond your salary to promote more use of the system when it's been lagging. My door is always open if you'd like to stop by and meet with me in person. I'd love to hear your thoughts on ways to keep our "A" players and how we might address your other concerns. I'm very enthusiastic about the future of Gateway Ticketing Systems and I hope you can be, too. Kind regards, Michael

Pros

None worth calling out or mentioning.

Cons

After working at Gateway for several years now, I can honestly say this is the worst company I’ve worked for in my career. The place is chaotic, reactive, and draining. There is not enough clear direction, ownership is often messy, and people spend way too much time trying to figure out who is supposed to do what. The company talks about process, but it does not feel consistent. Things are vague until there is a problem, then suddenly everything turns into blame and extra scrutiny. That gets old fast. Management makes the environment harder than it needs to be. There is a lot of checking in, questioning, and asking for updates, but not enough actual support or clear decision-making. It creates stress without solving the underlying issues. Teams do not seem aligned, communication is poor, and employees end up carrying the weight of bad planning. A lot of problems feel completely avoidable. I would not recommend working here. It is not a stable or healthy environment, and the company seems unwilling to admit how much of the frustration comes from the way it operates.
