Parallon reviews

-Low pay. -No training. Thrown to the wolves. -No room for advancement. -No career development. -A ton of menial tasks. -Outdated technology. -Too much work dumped on everyone. -Always rushing. Very fast pace. -Impossible productivity goals. -A lot of "training" videos that you are required to sit through, but do it after you clock out so it does not affect productivity. -Required company "social" events but paid out of your own pocket and time. -Plenty of double talk. -Monthly 1:1 meetings with manager that leads to nowhere, just talk, but still pushed to meet productivity goals. -Management's favorites can shirk their work. -Total mismanagement or lack of management. Very chaotic. “I’m telling you now, but this new project must be completed yesterday”. -Blame game everywhere, every second. -Everyone for themselves and passing the buck as fast as possible.

You will atrophy very quickly. Employees, Team leads, Managers, Directors, Chief executives can barely use MS Office. The one who knows how to get things done will be loaded up with all the menial grunt work, in addition to the normal tasks associated with their job description. Planning does not exist, so every day is a new emergency that requires staying late to resolve. This is worsened by management's indecisiveness and lack of knowledge. Everything has to be re-worked multiple times because they don't know what they want. They even have impossible requests, like finding the last 12 month average revenue for a business unit that just started this month. There is no advancement opportunity because those in higher positions will not leave. And they don't leave because they have no skills so would not be hired anywhere else. Their favorite phrase is "Make it happen" since they have no clue, cannot offer suggestions, does not care. They will not listen to why it is not a good idea. Then when it happens but is a disaster, they start blaming. If it works, they get the bonus while you get another “Make it happen” project. Computer systems are outdated and constantly malfunction, leading to additional overtime in order to get things done. The low pay is not worth the long hours and high stress.
