Pros

Secure paycheck. Benefits for FT EE's. Friendly coworkers. Casual Fridays. Descent commute. It's beginning to be more diverse. Free coffee (guilty if on the clock).

Cons

The company is not modern like it claims to be. You can't provide Super Service when our software sucks. We are an embarrassment to the business world. Even if we had the necessary tools to work efficiently, managers don't know one thing about managerial skills, therefore can't set a positive example on EE's. The company is working on making this the best place to work by investing in small recognition awards and themed fun days but that's not going to fix anything. The regional manager is a waste of office space.

Mangrove Employer Services Response
12y
When you make an acquisitions you don’t get to choose the employees. Many can be a good cultural fit but often not all. Background: Our Chicago office was unhappy and unionizing when we took it over. After three years listening and internal training that is no longer the case and employees are much happier and no longer pursuing a union. Our cultural is steeped in teamwork, customer service, and accountability. People are held accountable for bad behavior and sometimes they don’t like and can’t handle that. We don’t shy away from praise or constructive criticism from our employees or our clients. Please remember that we welcome and respond to employees feedback. Don't be afraid to discuss unpleasant things - you can email us if you are not comfortable talking face to face. We want to hear from you, but if you remain quiet, we can't address it. Also, we even go so far as to conduct exit interviews for most terminated employees. Unfortunately anonymous feedback is rarely constructive or completely truthful. We know there are three sides to every story and we take each side into consideration.

Pros

The culture and the people is what makes this place different from other companies. You can't help but get excited about the energy and the work that is being done. It is truly a fun atmosphere. You get to know the owners, they joke with you. You work with every department on multiple projects - so you get to know everyone in the building. Its your choice of what you want to make of your job. If you want to be a stick in the mud, you can be. If you want to enjoy what you do for 8 hours - its your choice - but the management team and other co-workers are here to work, and help you in any way.

Cons

I see a lot of negative reviews on here. If you aren't happy at Mangrove, why don't you get another job? No one is forcing you to stay. There are other places you can work. The owners are not bad people and saying you disapprove of the CEO when you don't even know him is quite ridiculous. If you have issues with your manager - that's what HR is for. GROW UP, be an adult and stop bashing a company just because you don't get your way. A lot of us are sick of hearing you complain.
