Completely Unorganized

Pros

Some really nice people and opportunities.

Cons

This business is completely unorganized, lacking leadership in specific areas. Hiring individuals that aren't qualified for specific jobs letting other employees crumble under pressure because of it. CFO acts as if she doesn't care about anyone but herself, stuck up and snotty. Overall just an awful place to waste time.

Thank you for taking the time to write about LDG. Since 2014 we have engaged in a very deliberate and detailed strategic planning process, published our divisional business plans to all employees and have shared them through bi-annual town halls, monthly division meetings, bi-weekly department meetings and various other communications vehicles, like our Pay Day Press. Perhaps you were absent for all of those meetings and missed them. Please feel free to reach out to me to discuss your past experience.

Overall good company

Pros

Potential to learn software and other high-end job related skills. Some teams have strong leadership and offer patience and solid mentoring to inexperienced team members. Growth. Ability to move up positions or stay put if you want. Flexibility in schedule or office/remote environment (after you’ve developed some trust with supervisor). Fairly laid back atmosphere with unpretentious corporate leaders. Makes genuine attempts to engage employees across multiple offices in multiple states. I have found most of mid level team leaders I worked with are very encouraging and appreciative of staff.

Cons

Growth is too much too fast to keep up with - currently not enough people for the workload. Trouble hiring new talent, while willing to let go of current talent too easily. Thus, creating work life balance problems for those who remain. Merit raises only occur once a year. Some old timers in senior and mid management can be rigid and out of touch with more progressive workplace culture realignments (remote working, promoting from within, work life balance, talent retention).

Pros

Loved the knowledge and experience that the employees have about surveying. Learned alot of useful knowledge to further my career.

Cons

Worked remotely, far from their home office and it was a challenge to keep working due to limited work while I worked for the company. Also the distance was too much to travel all the time
