Pros

Some great people work here.

Cons

Manager uses fear to push progress. Poor/non-existent communication. Unclear direction, lack of leadership. No support given even when it’s promised in writing. Does not pay for necessary expenses accrued to get the job done. Salaried positions expected to work too many hours. Quite literally the worst experience I’ve ever had. Now dealing with L&I

We aim to create an environment where everyone feels respected, supported and treated fairly, and we regret to hear that your experience did not align with these standards. Our Anti-Harassment & Anti-Discrimination policies are in place to ensure that all team members have a right to work in an environment free of harassment, discrimination and retaliation.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. While we strive to cultivate an environment built upon respect, support and open communication, we recognize and are sorry to hear that you had a negative experience with a member of our management team. Regarding the concerns about racism, we want to assure you that we have a zero-tolerance policy for any type of discrimination within the workplace and recognize that all team members have a right to be treated with dignity and respect in an environment free of harassment, discrimination and retaliation. We’re also disappointed to hear your experience regarding advancement within the organization, as favoritism and career advancement outside of our established practices is not in alignment with our equal opportunity policy and core values. In both of these situations, we always recommend that team members report any incidents using the confidential resource outlined in our employee handbook to allow for a thorough investigation. Creating an inclusive and respectful atmosphere where every team member feels valued and respected is of utmost importance to us. Our strength lies in our diverse workforce. We want to emphasize that we take this matter seriously and have escalated your feedback to ensure it’s addressed. Thank you again for raising this concern. We genuinely appreciate your feedback, as it helps us in our ongoing efforts to improve, and we wish you the best in the future.
