RAM Mounts reviews

Upper management is greedy and doesn't value its employees. This is shown through absolutely no perks in the office, an argument when ordering anything other then basic office supplies, and low noncompetitive pay. If you are hourly you will be tricked into agreeing to a "salary". Which means they will adjust your hourly pay so that your normal hours plus overtime equal that salary. In order to take a doctors appointment or a sick day you have to use PTO or make it up. This encourages sick employees to come in and get everyone else sick, which forces them to use their PTO. They only offer a flat non increasing 10 days of vacation a year, what is this the 1960's? There is always talk of change but never any action and the excuse of limited resources is always used. A mandatory 46 hour work week causes employees to become bitter and seek out new employment, the only ones who stay cling to the hope that when Jeff retires things will change. Growing pains get used as an excuse for a lot of the problems at RAM, but this isn't the case. Upper management not valuing their employees causes people to quit and unrealistic hours prevent the hire of new employees. Limited resources is the issue but, growth isn't the cause. People quitting because they find something better is the cause.

The pay is pretty good, but the benefits are lacking. The cheapest options are always chosen. There is no retirement plan available. Bring your own office supplies. If you want post-its, you have to email the CFO. For salaried employees, the expectation is to be on the clock, in the office for 45 hours a week, minimum. The CEO views "work" as sitting silently at your computer, heads down, all day, every day. Deviations from this are viewed as wasting time. Including meetings, coworker conversations or collaborations, and lunch. Unless the CEO wants to talk at everyone. Then you'll stand in a common area for 3 hours while he talks about whatever is on his mind. Usually related to the latest rumors of whoever's the most unhappy. It goes downhill from there, and often ends in an awkward question and answer session. He may come in the next day to apologize for the way he talked. He might cry. He might be angry. He will voice a demand for change, but very little will change because change is not encouraged at NPI. Working late into the evening and on weekends is mandatory if you want to be taken seriously. However, even if taken seriously, your input is neither needed, nor requested. Everyone does what the CEO wants, no questions allowed. If he says go left, not going left is viewed as being difficult to work with, and after a while of being difficult you'll likely be let go. If you do go left, and left doesn't work out for the company, it will be viewed as your fault. Employees are not trusted to think or act for themselves. Nothing is done without explicit approval from the CEO. Sometimes, approval today is revoked tomorrow, and you'll have to start over. Everything is a high-priority request, and needs to be done ASAP. If it doesn't show immediate positive results, it will be deemed a failure. Whatever your job description is, you likely won't actually be doing that. You'll be doing whatever needs to be done, because they can't hire or keep the employees they need to do the jobs they need done. Morale is always low. Tension is always high. Training is non-existent. Documentation is right there next to the training. Asking for help is usually answered, but prefixed with a heavy sigh.
