Pros

- The leadership team at my site are doing the absolute best they can after being saddled with a terrible contract they had no part in negotiating or signing. - I can speak to the team that I work with at my site and say that they are a wonderful group of people who try the best they can in difficult circumstances. - The Christmas part is pretty decent.

Cons

- The company doesn't hire based off experience nor tell you what to expect from the site you are being sent to. It feels like working for a temp staffing agency, except they say it's a place where you can build a career, which is not true. - There is a complete disconnect from head office staff and us "billable assets" out at client sites. They don't attempt to make us feel part of the company and they just want you to keep showing up so they can keep billing the client. They don't care at all about the culture and morale at the site you are located at. - The pay is way below market rate and they have been signing bad contracts with clients where even the quarterly incentive system is being stripped away. - They talk about how they offer free training, except it isn't free, they take it off of your incentive, which should be your bonus for the markup they make off of you. - Constant pressure to make the site you work at more profitable, even though the company signed the bad deal in the first place. - Team Leads are left to suffer the brunt of discontent from the client and receive little to no support from the company. - Work environment hinges on unsafe and company is completely unaware of what they signed up for. - You just exist to make money, they could care less about what happens to you and your career as long as you are a billable asset. Show up, track your time, make Long View money and that's all they care about. - I personally worked extra hours over the holiday season with the promise of a gift of some sort from the company in exchange for it, we are two months from that over time worked and still nothing has been paid out.

Hello there, we are obviously saddened to read this review. While we are pleased to hear that you enjoy your team and the site leaders, we are not happy to read about the rest of your experience as it's not in alignment with our culture or our company's goals. Can you please book some time with your People Services Advisor or Manager so that we can fix this and show you what a career at Long View should look like? We look forward to hearing from you very soon.

Pros

Large Canadian presence and solid leadership from the top, but not so much in the Sales org

Cons

No marketing or demand generation makes it very hard on the sales team. Middle managers/VPs can be toxic depending on your location. No cohesion across departments.
