Makes no sense - Anonymous employee Westat Employee Review

Most managers haven't a clue on how to manage staff. They have managers that are some of the meanest and nastiest people I have ever seen. You only get paid on the 5th and the 20th. They count your retirement and bonus as part of your salary. However, they tax your bonus at a bonus rate and not as the salary rate. You can't move up in the company unless someone is willing to push you up, otherwise you will leave (as I did) or die in your position. For a company with over 2K employees, you can count on one hand the number of non-Caucasian VPs or associate directors.
