Pros

PTO (but even that didn't make up for the toxic environment). I learned what I did NOT want in an employer I learned to take negative reviews more into consideration when applying for a job I learned that the saying "If it looks to good to be true, it probably is" is under rated.

Cons

Favoritism Toxic environment Low pay Pay was not the same for females (and no, experience was not the determining factor) Company changes names more often than most people change socks! Insurance was ridiculously expensive and NOT good. (This is NOT a "small" company, so that is not an excuse). They have multiple locations so should be able to offer better benefits!

Pros

Great coworkers, just feel sad for them for being there.

Cons

The company as a whole is not a good place to work at. They do not like to give raises UNLESS you go in and beg for it. Don't think about trying to advance in the company, "we have you exactly where we want you". The company is loaded with VIPs and not one of them was promoted from within. Unless you fit an image, you will be miserable there because you have to be the face of the company. You can't rely on your hard work to get you anywhere, because the board members still hold your jobs in their hands. What that says is zero support from your superiors. It's a sad thing when you don't even get paid for your extra time put in, it only gets you a demotion. I have never seen a company where employees are itching to get out of, the turn over is extremely high. They will even go as far as letting employees work from out of state to hide it. As for the positive reviews written, especially the one that said working in 100 degree conditions. Where was that???, I thought sweatshops were illegal.

Hello recent colleague, We are sorry to see you go. Thank you very much for the time you gave to your team and the communities you served. It sounds like you learned a lot and were given an opportunity for new career challenges, which allowed you to grow. We've set up most employee schedules to work within roughly 40 hours a week, even for salaried employees. Many of our employees with the most demanding portfolios manage to work around 40 hours per week. It sounds like we missed an opportunity to find out was going on before you got burned out and help you become more efficient and find balance in your life. I hope you shared some specifics about dishonesty you experienced during your exit interview, we take exit interviews very seriously. Regarding pay. You are correct, some managers at other companies make more and some less. Often the high pay is for very experienced managers with large portfolios (sometimes more than double the load of a Spectrum portfolio). We also offer some employees a chance to learn the industry from scratch as you referenced. These managers don't make what an experienced manager does, but we invest heavily in them and help them grow while here. We offer multiple steps of career development within the CM role itself and then into mentoring and supervisory roles. We know getting this experience takes patience and there are other companies who may pay an experienced manager more, but we offer a very competitive salary, a balanced portfolio, training and the benefits you mentioned, which make for a very compelling opportunity for many who want what we offer and fit our culture. Thank you again for working here. We hope your next career move offers you all of the things you are looking for.
