Pros

I'm sure that the work at Pomeroy can vary depending on which client you are supporting. I supported a large bank in the Midwest. I worked on the client site for their Information Technology department. The relationship I formed with the client(s) was great. It was great to be able to take advantage of the amenities that larger corporations provide to their employees. Work/Life balance was nothing to complain about considering I was an hourly employee. The majority of the Pomeroy team was a joy to work with. I'm sure this is a great company to work for if you just graduated college.

Cons

Only pertaining to my experience with one client: Lack of Formal training process ("Figure it out" mentality from mgmt). I sat w the former PM for a week, watched some e-learning videos, and then was sent to an entirely different row. The only time I was approached by Pomeroy was when there was a problem. There was no healthy banter, small-talk, etc. If I was lucky they'd stop and say goodbye at CoB. I once reported to work at 7:55AM, checked my email, walked down to the on-site bistro for breakfast, and was back to my desk before 8:15AM. I had an email in my inbox with the employee handbook attached. Stating that I was technically late. Almost like I was purposely being pushed away. I was unable to leave the office to visit site's for projects, so it was incredibly difficult to learn on the job and apply it to future projects. Blurred lines: I was brought in to replace a PM. I was given all of their responsibilities, but held the title, and the pay scale, of a "coordinator." I'm using quotations because their definition of a Project "Coordinator" is; A Project Professional that you can underpay and take advantage of by blurring the distinction between "Coordinator" and "Manager." I raised concerns about workload and my job title multiple times, and got the same shtick from management each time. They would just do their best to blur the distinction between the positions so one could mean the other and vice versa. Management does a great job of seeming like they're keeping the ship afloat, but the other associates are really the ones making all of the impact. During my Performance review, I was told, verbatim, "The Bank is paying us for Project Management, and they don't feel like they're getting it." Well my friend, that's because you hired a coordinator with limited experience and no certifications with the hope that you could just manipulate them into doing PM work for PC pay (41K). It seems like everyone at Pomeroy is either blood related, or engaged sexually. Not sure if this is a con, but it's not a pro.

Thank you for taking the time to write your review on Glassdoor. We sincerely regret that you had a negative experience and felt undervalued as a Pomeroy employee. We are in the final phases of creating a defined career path which will guide a Project Coordinator I up through a Senior Project Manager, for those who choose that route. It will outline expectations, experience, performance evaluation and certification requirements. The PM team has a documented onboarding process which has been in place for 2 years and should include instructional training and job shadowing of peer coordinators. We do empower our project coordinators by providing opportunities, within reasonable increments, to go above and beyond the role of project coordinator and “test out the waters” leading into project management. Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention. Continuous improvement is our goal. On a side note, if you did not complete an exit interview, but would like to do so…please feel free to reach out to one of our Human Resource Generalists; Andrea.Corcoran@Pomeroy.com or 859-657-2037.

Pros

Pomeroy has proven a place to develop a career for those who are ambitious, value autonomy, and take initiative to make a difference.

Cons

Pomeroy is a fast paced environment and moves quickly - some may find this decisiveness and desire for change not for them.

Pros

The people are truly the best part of working at Pomeroy. I had the opportunity to work with some amazing coworkers and leaders who genuinely care about one another. The work-life balance is also a real positive, especially compared to many companies in the industry. It’s also telling that many employees have long tenure, and it’s not uncommon to see people leave and eventually come back, which says a lot about the culture and the relationships people build there.

Cons

One of the biggest frustrations is that there have been a lot of promises made over the years that never seem to materialize. A 401(k) company match has been discussed for well over four years, but it still hasn’t been implemented. Leadership has also communicated plans for company-wide merit increases, yet there hasn’t been an across-the-board increase since 2023.
