I’d first like to acknowledge a review that stated that the reviews are from a single person… that is simply not true because Glassdoor only allows one review per account. So unless one person has 20 different emails/accounts, all the 1 star reviews are from 20 different people. I only know this because I’ve tried to make multiple during my time at Matador and it deletes your previous review. All the reviews are similar because it’s the ugly truth. The 5 star reviews are probably from a VP that’s trying to keep Matador from going under 2.0 stars on Glassdoor. Blunt, I know, but that needed to be addressed.
Cons:
-Joe Foran (CEO)
-All VP’s
-All Managers
-No work/life balance
Joe: aka the CEO from hell. You must watch what you say around him or to any of the snitch VP’s that are constantly kissing his butt because you’ll be escorted from the building in a heartbeat.
VP’s: the department VP’s just want to make themselves look good for Joe and don’t really care about their department.
Managers: they need training on how to manage employees. They were thrown into management roles and didn’t have the proper training to be a successful manager. This isn’t necessarily their fault, but it makes for an unsuccessful team. They do not have your back and will throw you under the bus to save themselves.
Work/life balance: we work 9/80’s and have every other Friday (for the most part) off. The Friday off was great and appreciated, until Covid happened and some of us had to work the Friday we were supposed to be off. Needless to say, my team works about 12-13 hour days most weeks because there’s always something that someone can’t wait the next day for.
All in all, if you like money you should work here. If you like being treated like trash, you should also work here.
