Long-standing company operating very much as a start-up

Pros

Good location; free snacks/drinks; so-so benefits plan; some nice people.

Cons

The average star rating of reviews for this company is 4+. I suspect a lot of these 4+ reviews are fake, written by the People & Culture team to over-inflate the "awesomeness" of this company. It is not awesome by any stretch if you come from a background where professionalism and experience count in spades. This company has been around a long time. Unfortunately, so too has the start-up mentality culture it clings to, for a number of years now. If you like start-ups and the chaotic hyperbole they spin to disguise themselves as techie-cool, you'll thrive in this environment. If you come from a professional background where skills and experience are highly valued and nurtured, and order exists, do not join this company. It's all bling from the outside, but closer inspection reveals a poorly managed, poorly staffed company that is sorely lacking in experienced, skilled personnel. The results are no processes whatsoever, no decent training (just thrown in the deep end and expected to swim), no leadership, poor communication, and "managers" elevated to such positions with zero experience or formal training in that arena. This creates for endless frustration, poorly made decisions, bad hiring for the sake of hiring, and ineptitude. Lots of push-back from managers who haven't the slightest idea how to execute on their title or lead. Looks good on the resume, but in practicality, useless. A clicky environment where drinking from the kool-aid is your ticket to a great ride. Voices are raised to offer improvements to workflow, but the silence is deafening. Huge staff turnover, either by firing, resignation, or layoff. Staff retention of skills and experience is dismal. The average tenure is one to two years. The company offers a cool product. Unfortunately, the staff and leaders nurturing this product to beyond cool do not have the collective knowledge and experience to rise to the occasion.

Thank you for your feedback. While we are sorry that this was your experience at PayByPhone, we appreciate you sharing your suggestions of what you think can be improved in the organization. We want to clarify that the People & Culture team has not written any fake reviews to inflate the rating; it would be unethical to do so. We do encourage our employees to provide us with ongoing feedback as well as post reviews that represent their honest experience at PayByPhone. These reviews give us further insights to challenges our employees are facing. PayByPhone has grown exceptionally in numbers over the past few years and has encountered immense amounts of change and challenges; all essential growing pains. This year alone we not only introduced strategy implementation workshops which provided training on change management, but a new global leadership development program, and skills training courses and workshops. This is a work in progress and we understand there are areas that can be further improved. We will continue to improve our processes to ensure our employees have the resources to be successful in their roles for today and tomorrow. Lewisa Anciano, VP, Global HR at PayByPhone
