Fast Enterprises reviews

Some projects you will be working 60+ hours a week while other projects struggle to hit the target of 40 hours of OT in a calendar year Backstabbing, gossiping, and brown nosing is common. If you don't fit the Bro-y or alcoholic standards prepare to be ostracized and stuck on bad projects. Lots of empty promises about caring about mental health and work/life balance but management gives empty platitudes about "sometimes sacrifices have to be made and you need to toughen up" Now that working remote is becoming more standard in the industry, leadership is dragging their feet even harder. Even our clients are working from home. If you are not a straight white man, strongly consider different opportunities, constant insensitive remarks from both coworkers and the agencies you work with. I spent my entirety of my employment in the closet because it quickly became apparent to me that if I just grinned and bore the hateful jokes and dehumanizing comments, I'd get paid more and would more likely be placed on better projects.

Lack of advancement opportunities, toxic culture, poor leadership * Although the Partners are fantastic, they don’t really control company culture for the majority of Fast’s employees. Instead, that is the responsibility of each project site’s leadership, and results will vary. Your experience with Fast will be heavily dictated by your site’s leadership, or lack thereof. * You will probably be working a lot of overtime, and it will be calculated as straight time, not time and a half. You will be fed the illusion that putting in extra hours is a privilege, and the effort is referred to as Bonus Time. In one meeting on site, our manager told us “we care about your mental health, but overtime is mandatory,” without a hint of self-awareness. Morale on the site I worked on was/is incredibly low. * HR is there to protect the company, not the employees. While on my project site, the wife of a coworker sexually harassed me for about six weeks through various social media channels. I reported it to my manager, who assured me I did the right thing by reporting the interaction, and that the grievance was elevated to HR. Two months later, I found out my manager had lied to me and never informed HR. I talked to HR about the initial grievance, and they didn’t seem to care that my manager acted the way he did - I had to work for that manager for another year and a half, knowing how little he respected me. * The bonus structure is needlessly over-complicated, and it’s essentially designed to give you smaller and smaller bonuses as your salary progresses, effectively lessening the overall impact your raises have upon your take-home amount. (The over-complication of processes is also felt in the annual review system).
