      Unfair treatment - wish I had read the reviews before I accepted the job

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Can't think of any to post.

      Cons

      There is too much favoritism among employees. New employees, no matter how hard they work, are not accepted into the "circle". Flex time is only offered to certain people and they do not care about you personally. You can work every day, be early, no time for breaks for months, but take off for a doctor's appointment and the world is ending.

      Hello, and thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We are sorry to hear of your frustrations, and for any misunderstandings that may have occurred as they relate to our time off policies. In general, any flexibility with scheduling tends to be something that employees work their way up to with tenure, but we do make an effort to be accommodating of emergencies and personal appointments as they arise. We’re very sorry to hear that you did not feel this was the case. Please know that your concerns have been heard and discussed, and we welcome you to contact our HR team if you have any more specifics you would like to share. We wish you the best.
