Pros

Ehh not the biggest fan of this place, we used to have high morale so thats a plus now in the past. Now only pros of working at F.S.N.S. are being able to sleep for a maximum of 4 hours every night and hoping that you will get a second interview from that other company you interviewed for last week. By the way, not having lunches are illegal f.y.i.

Cons

Our management displays high favoritism. We've tried telling corporate and HR that it is NOT a good idea having managers manage three different labs, but CEO loves doing it so to save the company money on not having good management in each lab. We have some people that get preyed by management. For example, a person that works in a lower department isn't as fast but contributes effectively. Management is constantly talking about how to fire this person not to mention always talking behind employees backs about how bad they are. Im sure that corporate is trying to get rid of them too seeing as theyve been firing productive workers that speak out against bad mgmt in other labs recently. What a shame. Everytime there is a negative review, HR and the management from each lab go on a rampage to try and figure out who wrote it. There's even been rumors, which are evidently true, that they fire the person that wrote the bad review once they find them. I mean just look at HR response from the review from the texas lab posted on march 30th. They actively call former employees and threaten them if they don't remove it. I mean but that is any other state. Here in California, there was a recent case involving online autonomy that showed that we cant be found so leave us alone we are giving you our honest feedback, and no we dont want to talk to you because you dont do anything about it. I would like for HR and L.A. mgmt to quit trying to figure out who is writing this and fix the actual prob. You can try to find out who it is, nobody is going to tell you anymore thou on the fact that other lab employees getting fired for going to HR so quit posting comments asking for reviewers to contact you because you dont actually care about anyone but your circle in corporate and getting your paycheck. As long as the company runs,you get your thousand dollar dinner everyday lieing to customers and yourself. Yes we used to have good management here but corporate flew over here and fired them all so we are stuck with management that acts like they just graduated from the 12th grade and plays favorites. Corporate doesnt care about the employees, only the crappy managers that they play with their strings like a marionette. Customers here get lied to on a daily basis too. But we all know that corporate will spend their entire day and resources calling former and current employees to get the reviews taken down. So for people that dont work at the california labs, i advise not to put identifying information in your reviews if you dont want to be harassed by the HR of this company. Also, non competes are not valid here in CA so we can leave whenever we want and work for a competitor, which everyone that is not management is trying to do. Current management plays favorites and builds the lower managers based on favorites from drinking parties that they have on the weekends and who can talk the most crap about other employees.

I was just in the LA lab yesterday. I wish you would have pulled me aside to discuss your concerns in-person. I would be happy to return to the LA lab or the lab that is closest to you in the coming weeks. You may also give me a call. A number of the comments you have made are blatantly untrue and further, are not consistent to what we do, our culture or this facility in any way. We continue to look at our structure, make refinements and seek out high performing employees and managers to fill open positions. It is unfortunate to hear your concerns about your managers as well as Corporate Leaders and I will communicate these concerns accordingly. We will continue to look into issues brought forward and address them quickly. Please note (as discussed at the lab yesterday) we have an Open Door Policy and a confidential number for employees to call as one of many resources to resolve issues. I hope you will consider my invitation for a phone call or a visit to the LA lab or whichever facility you are actually speaking of. Our goal is to make positive change and create a culture where everyone is appreciated. Bob Cox - SVP, HR

Pros

sometimes, but hardly ever, there can be days when you get lunches.

Cons

Just bad when you think that corporate is right around the corner and they dont notice the lab slipping apart. Sure they can have their taco trucks, and daily parties exceeding hundreds of dollars. But we in the lab can suffer and not have time for lunches and corporate just says oh well. Yea its bad, they dont really care about us. Oh yea and HR has gotten much worse since October of 2018. Bad. I used to like it but now i am putting in multiple applications daily and there will be no two week's notice because once i get another offer i am calling in until all of my vacation days are used up then i will not be showing up anymore.

I appreciate you taking the time to bring your concerns forward, however this venue will not be the best way to solve them. Being in San Antonio, gives you a unique opportunity to walk over and talk with any member of the leadership team to help you address issues - this is our Open Door Policy. In regard to your comments regarding HR, I would welcome the opportunity to address those personally. Please give me a call, stop by and talk with a member of the HR team and/or I will schedule time with you accordingly. Much of what you have stated is inaccurate and a discussion can probably clear much of this up. We work hard to provide opportunities for training, growth and development for all employees. Our goal is to create a culture where our employees are happy, engaged and appreciated. If at the end of a discussion you are still unhappy with FSNS, I will work with you on an orderly transition versus you using vacation and walking off the job. Thank you. Bob Cox, SVP, HR
