SOLUTE reviews

I'll repeat my first pro...SOLUTE is a small business; I came from a 'big business' at my last job and budgets are smaller, compensation is smaller, benefits are smaller. The company has under 80 employees but the 'C Suite Titles' and 'Directors' have multiplied since I started even though the company size stayed the same; I'm worried of a potential top heavy organization. If you are a person that needs someone to tell you what to do DO NOT COME HERE. People like to think they are independent and can give self direction then they start and just sit around and aren't sure why they are asked to pack up...You have to be a self starter to work here. Since I started the benefits have gone down, but that is because DoD companies have taken a hit across the board, but it would be nice to see the benefits rise again. There isn't an annual 2-3% raise that is typical for cost of living increases so you have to negotiate otherwise you will be left wishing instead of getting. TURN OVER IS INCREDIBLY HIGH; management sees this now and are trying to fix it but there has been so many people leaving the over 1/2 the company has been there less than 12 months; hopefully people stick around longer. The mentality is that everyone is replaceable but I believe that is changing...or I hope it is.

The benefits are terrible. It wouldn't be bad if management didn't say that they were industry standard. The worst part is the hypocrisy, if you're in senior management the rules don't apply. There was talk of an employee ownership program when hired on and that was the last of it. The management is opaque on their decision making and does not have a long-term strategy other than jumping at any opportunity presented - even if they don't have the skills to succeed there.
