Extremely disappointed in management from top to bottom! - Systems Engineer Ventura Foods Employee Review

Business Outlook

Pros

Really can't think of one!

Cons

People don't leave bad jobs, people leave bad Directors/upper management who don't appreciate one's value. Facts: This so-called "Systems Engineer" position was nothing more than a desktop role. No training whatsoever! The on-the- job training that you do receive is a joke. No IT budget to support users! Zero....nada! Your concerns and opinions are ignored by the Director. Merit raises are ridiculous. Yearly performance reviews are nothing more than broken promises. No formal planning from Director to implement site-to site team projects. No test environment. Sites are considered "guinea pigs" when implementing a business solution. This server role (really a desktop role) is just a break-fix role. No provisions from mgmt to make it a proactive environment. PPE's and Performance Goals....Psft....whatever! A joke. Even the guys on team said so. I can add more but you get my drift.

Pros

Compensation was above average compared to similar roles in the industry. Coworkers were friendly, supportive, and willing to help one another. The team environment was collaborative and positive.

Cons

New leadership lacks institutional knowledge and understanding of the business. The company is relying heavily on offshore consultants who also lack sufficient operational knowledge. Leadership appears to favor hiring former coworkers and outside connections instead of promoting qualified internal employees.
