Pros

You get to meet clients for future job opportunities.

Cons

This company is a real joke. There is no professionalism, no ethics, no values!!! The company is ran by managers who hire family members into opened positions which leaves no room for growth!! The pay is a joke, unless you are a family member, then you get the big bucks! They offer such horrible job training for new employees. They want you to take on more responsibilities for the same pay! The pay is not based on experience, they push to get your modules and field evaluations done but once complete they don't compensate you for advancing. There is no yearly reviews to determine your performance and how much you know because once again THE TRAINING IS HORRIBLE!! The morale of the Santa Ana office is so low H2S sits higher. Management believes and I quote "as long as The Core sticks together everyone else is expendable." I wonder whos part of "The Core." The pay scale is so off balance from the range of 14 to 32 an hour and all for the same job and responsibilities. Those who are unfortunate to start off at such low rate have to have 2nd jobs just to make ends meat. I really wish they'll compensate those who really deserve it and take on leases to make sure they meet the quarter. As for those who make the big bucks take a look at their pay rate and their responsibilities and you'll find out that someone with a low base pay rate and responsibilities aren't too far off!!

The Santa Ana management team has listened to the feedback provided by employees during the recent Employee Engagement Survey, and has implemented changes based on this feedback. We understand that it is important to the organization that performance reviews take place, which is why we have committed to doing annual, formal reviews since 2015. We will continue to listen and respond to employee feedback, and make changes as we feel necessary. Thank you for taking the time to provide us with this feedback.

Pros

Company is highly adaptable. Maintains agility even though the company large. Upper management supports and encourages employee involvement.

Cons

Being a publicly traded company hinders some type of growth due to burdensome overhead.

Pros

Prior to our company's acquisition with MEG/Onterris, the company had a strong culture, supportive leadership, and employees who genuinely cared about one another and the success of the business.

Cons

If your company has been acquired, pay close attention to employee reviews and take them seriously. I did, and many of the concerns raised turned out to be accurate. Employees were repeatedly assured that the acquisition would create new opportunities and that jobs were secure. In my experience, that was not the reality. Long-tenured employees were gradually pushed out while similar positions were later reposted with modified titles or responsibilities. The former ownership ultimately lost control of decisions despite assurances that little would change. Employees with years of institutional knowledge spent years implementing new procedures, documenting procedures, learning the new system, and navigating disorganized Workday implementations with minimal support. Much of the guidance consisted of being directed to read instructions on the intranet. If you are in a finance position they will let you go! They will tell you they want it all centralized in Arkansas but that's not true, there are plenty of people working remote but you will be pushed out no matter how long you've been with your company. This not only affected me but our entire team was wiped out. They didn't give us a heads up in advance to look for anything for 2 years we were told everyone was safe and I believed them. Keep an eye out for the constant restructuring of upper management as well.

Thank you for a decade of contribution, and for sharing this so candidly. Change of this scale asks a lot of trust from employees, and we recognize that. We take feedback like yours seriously as we work to communicate more clearly through transitions and support the people navigating them. We'd genuinely value hearing more directly please contact our HR team at HRCorp@onterris.com so we can listen fully. Kevin Gill, SVP, HR
