Worst Place I've Ever Worked

Pros

First impression was ok, CEO seemed to care. But new job jitters always helps one turn a blind eye to the cons.

Cons

CFO seemed very condescending, I often felt sorry for those in his department. They all seem nervous, and scared working for a man like him. Heard stories of embezzlement. That the person who did the research, and helped find the prior employee who stole money, was never thanked, but fired. Are they hiding something? Nepotism, I read through the other reviews, and I'm not the only one that sees this is a HUGE problem with the company, unless you're family. Family is offered promotions and annual raises, while the rest of the employees don't receive annual raises, or any type of bonus. They have another company called Dot Staff, that is pretty much the same office, and environment. No raises, no chance of career advancement

Good to clients, bad to employees

Pros

The services that are offered to the governments are truly helpful.

Cons

You are simply a cog in their machine. The company tries to pride themselves on caring for their employees, but I never saw it. Terrible starting salaries, with no chance of a raise, regardless of how hard you work to help the company grow. Every penny goes right back into the CEO's pocket. No flexibility of any kind, no thought of work-life balance- will continue to add things to your heaping plate, without so much as a thank you.

Pros

They teach fabulous life lessons on nepotism and how to disrespect people. They keep you on your toes because they seem to fire people for no discernible reason. They do support charitable causes.. by "encouraging" their employees to donate THEIR money which, of course, then gives the company (and its owners) a bigger tax deduction.. the benefits of which they don't seem to share. They also have a "wellness committee" - which is likely in place only to try to lower the company's healthcare costs on their terrible plans they offer

Cons

Management is pretentious and cares more about appearance than treating people well. There are no annual reviews because they "come with an expectation of a raise." Meanwhile, family members get "promotions" to newly created positions while seemingly doing nothing. Notice the 3 positive reviews on 10/1/15? I'd guess that was their task for that day.. This place makes me hate getting out of bed each day and hopefully I, and the many others who feel the same way, can move onto something better soon.
