PLATO reviews

PLATO has grown a lot over the last couple of years and seems to be trying to catch up to update their old practices that might have worked when they had 100 employees but don't scale to our current workforce that is 3x that size. We're able to see the improvements that were made after they've been implemented, but it would be good to learn of some of these things beforehand and have more opportunities to share our feedback or suggestions.

Not only does this company severely underpay you, they also consistently make FALSE promises to employees and never deliver. I was offered a promotion and a nice raise, I followed up multiple times just to find out it’s “not going to happen”. Why call me in to tell me I’m getting a promotion and raise in the first place? The CEO is always subtly dodging the question of whether he’s indigenous or not (he’s not at all, openly admitted this to my face). He coins it off indigenous people in these “training” programs but never pays the deserving rate and constantly belittles indigenous employees (non-indigenous people are also taking these training courses, which are supposed to be for indigenous people only). Try’s to force specific employees to work in the office after working remotely for four years just fine. Does NOT give truth and reconciliation day off to employees (MAJOR RED FLAG) instead were made to listen to the same indigenous person cry about his personal life for three hours on that day. Upper management has zero communication skills, nobody ever seems to be on the same page and the sense of entitlement from those in positions of power is actually laughable at this point. Lastly, there have been multiple mass layoffs without cause (the cause is there’s no money being made because the project to employee ratio is wayyyy off lol) They have absolutely no respect for how you feel about projects. No respect for family emergencies or personal issues. Somehow, the LEAST amount of respect is given to indigenous employees. If you like terrible management, lies and a horrible pay, this is the place for you!
