Milestone Technologies reviews

I feel like they put on a show, made me think they had my best interests in mind. - Once hired, never heard a peep from my recruiter ever again, I was expecting at least a "Welcome, hope your first day went well. Let me know if you need anything, or you can contact XYZ, your assigned Service Delivery Manager". Nothing. (and this was after constant emails, phone calls and texts, and hearing from her up until the day before my 1st day of work, with her saying, "Sure, I'm on campus every week, let's grab lunch sometime!" She scored me as a new hire, so her job with me was done. Disappointed. - They tried to gyp me of my annual increase in pay, saying that I don't qualify since I was hired after Q3 in the year, however I fought for it saying that I was actually hired during Q3 so the increase did apply to me. - My Facebook boss inadvertently found out that instead of Milestone taking only 40% of the pay for my coworker (who also worked for Milestone), Milestone was actually taking 50% of the pay, meaning they lied to her. - When processing my exit prior to my end date, I found HR to be unprofessional and not fully competent (The HR rep had an incorrect office phone number in her email signature...we played phone tag for 2 or 3 days. Her cell phone voice mail greeting is of her young child of maybe 5 years old which would have been cute if it wasn't a phone number given out for work. When she finally answered the phone, she didn't answer the call with "Hello" or anything like that, she just started talking. I received an incorrect email about filling out info for Workers Comp, only to tell them that I was not doing any kind of Workers Comp and that anything like that was absolutely incorrect; only to receive another email asking for the same info maybe the week after. Lastly, they had an "administrative error" after having to explain making an incorrect direct deposit a week after my last day with their company then having to debit that back out of my bank account). And now that I'm really out of their hair, HR just happens to be non responsive to my emails (I never received a exit packet in the mail which the HR rep had said I need to sign and mail back.. which I need in order to get COBRA).

Management is completely out of touch with reality and have no idea what the teams they build actually do. Senior management constantly makes promises to clients without being able to deliver with current resources, at the detriment of their teams, then passes blame and accountability to the lowest tier teams so that they don't have to take responsibility for their lies. Entire teams get terminated at the flick of a wrist just to save the company a few bucks. Some teams (with all full-time permanent employees) have recently been told they have to move literally across the country at their own expense, or their job ends after the new year. Milestone isn't even offering severance pay or any kind of assistance. HR doesn't care about you, your family, or anything. They break the law CONSTANTLY, just hoping you won't go to the DoL against them. A few people do, and get money out of them, but I guess that breaking the law and only getting caught every once in a while is still profitable ultimately. Pay is absolute crap, as are the benefits. Salary is usually 20% or more below local medians for different job titles, but such is life in a contracting company, I guess; however, you'll literally never get a raise because management doesn't do performance reviews or care. Unless you're good at counter-manipulation to get in with the cliques of the company, you'll also never get promoted.
