Malouf Careers reviews

I joined at the beginning of a company nosedive that I was unaware of. Many big promises were made to me when I was hired, but it turned out to be something totally different. I made sacrifices and gave up opportunities out of loyalty and belief in what we were building. When layoffs came without warning after a trip they proved to me they didn't care. Everyone raved about the culture, but so much of their "culture" is parties and fluff. When it comes down to it and times get tough they show their true colors. Many employees are grossly underpaid and expected to go above and beyond without compensation or recognition. When you transfer to a new position within the company, if it is not a direct promotion you don't get the salary bump for the new position until after 6 months. They claim to have an amazing benefits package that is actually just a basic and at times below average benefit package. HR can be very rude at times and show that they really just don't care about most employees. On top of that, they seem to be goofing off half of the day. Management does not know how to measure the value of performance in any meaningful way and is quick to blame someone else for failures. When it came time for layoffs, there was little to no support with minimal to no severance for employees impacted.

•Well below market pay for Cache Valley, Utah and National pay. I was 30-40% under market •No real upper level management accountability or transparency. They claim to have both, but not one President/Executive level manager was affected by the layoffs. None took layouts to our knowledge. They never disclosed how many they were laying off for “privacy reasons”. •Was constantly told to work harder for the sake of the company, but no incentive was offered. For example, needed to work harder to generate income for the company, but no raises were done companywide for inflation matching, most positions even after layoffs did not receive wage increases year over year. •Layoffs were done after work hours, by email. Direct managers were not allowed to call and let workers know what was coming or to even be humane about it. •Nice building with marble floors, super nice furniture in meeting rooms, etc. Basically years of frivolous spending on facilities and lavish work parties, but not able to compensate competitively for most roles.
