Pros

At first hire, I was surrounded by some really smart people. Without them, my “onboarding” would have been impossible.

Cons

“Onboarding” consists of being told to read a bunch of outdated documents filled with broken links. Low pay, laughable yearly increases, extremely expensive benefits, company dropped the 401k match “because of the pandemic” and the last 2 quarterly meetings declared we were doing great (but ooops! no time for questions!) but no mention of reinstating this benefit. High turnover at the upper management and C-level. Completely focused on sales and acquisitions with no support for overworked services employees. Sales will sell to companies who don’t really stand to benefit from our services, unhappy customers are given tons of work for free, and services team takes the hit for having low billable hours (because management promised them free work). Complete failure to backfill and/or retain existing employees. Company is hemorrhaging good people and has no real plans to prevent further attrition. This company is a Dilbert level nightmare of useless circular discussions, narcissistic management and embarrassing business practices. Avoid at all costs.

I’m really sorry that this was your experience. We also saw the issues with the outdated training. I’m not sure of the timing of your experience but we’ll take the action to check in with the team and make sure the concerns you had have been updated. The 401K match was reinstated on January 1, 2021 with an increase in the match amount for most people. We also brought in a new 401k partner to operate the plan that would give everyone more choices with lower fees. I’m sorry that you did not see the announcements. You are correct that we made changes in upper management when it wasn’t a great fit. Some of those changes included bringing in sales leaders that make sure we can deliver on our commitments. Based on your comments, you were probably working on projects that were sold prior to this leadership team, so I understand where you saw some projects that were a stretch. Bluntly, that’s why you saw changes in leadership as well as making sure that the leaders you work with on a day-to-day basis recognize how important each person is and reflects that in how they lead – from career development to prioritizing hiring as we grow and building strong onboarding programs.
