They are a smaller company so there isn’t a ton of room for advancement, but it does happen for employees who show merit. I’ve seen “box pushers” become Vice Presidents and Sales Representatives become Directors.
Like any company, there are some employees who don’t pass muster. However, I’d like to point out that when starting at Inpro it took me a while to find these employees. They are few and far between.
I have heard a number of times from both past and present employees that Inpro does not pay a premium for good employees. While they do value their existing employees there is a limit as to how much. I’m not going to argue that there shouldn’t be a limit by any means. Every company needs to do this in some capacity. However, on several occasions they have been willing to let a good employee leave rather than fairly compensate them for what the market will bear. Inpro will say that their wages are in line with the median, and I’m willing to bet they are. But that is a problem in my opinion. The median is an average. For a company that strives for excellence in every facet, this is an area where they fall short occasionally. Some, not all, employees rightfully deserve more for their efforts and skills.
Full disclosure here: I was let go from Inpro. I don’t blame them for going in a different direction, but I will always question how they went about it. When I needed the help, feedback, guidance and support of my direct manager I received nothing. To say this was a disappointment is an understatement.
