Pros
* They pretend they want real people. They want you to speak up and speak out. * Some of the lower level management are actually good people. * Most of the lower level employees genuinely want to do good work. * The smoke and mirrors of how great the company is and how generous they are is extremely attractive until you see behind the curtain. * If you have tuition assistance and leave the company, they will not recoup the payment from you. * If you keep any of the hardware assets provided to you when you leave the company, nothing will happen to you as there is no Hardware Asset Policy. HR might send you a letter asking you to return them, but, as they put it, "there's no meat to it". * The Hearing Aid benefit to employees and their families is decent. If you want the "latest and greatest" Genesis - there's an added fee of $1000, at least for the group listed in the "free" category.
Cons
* Wages are low. If you ask for fair compensation, you will be told "if money is so important to you, maybe this isn't the right place for you." * Wage disparities are alive and well. If you are brought into the company from a family member or friend, your pay will be higher based on the merit of the person referring you. * Nepotism is alive and well. * The company has a considerable amount of legal action cases. Look it up, seriously. * The 'good old boys' club is alive and well. * The Chief People Officer will tell you that speaking up, asking questions and having difficult conversations is paramount to the company's success, however, that only applies if you're not considered to be "other". * Your private social media pages will be hacked and will be used against you if you are considered "other". * People will scream at you, berate you and verbally attack you. When that happens, if you bring this issue to HR - you will be the problem. * There are family members who are listed as employees, and have executive benefits as an employee - who do not actually work for the company in any capacity. * The owner is not licensed to fit or dispense hearing aids - he is not an Audiologist or a Certified/Licensed Hearing Aid Specialist. * Retail Audiologists are expected to function similarly to a used car salesman or the older expression "carpet baggers'. They are expected to not only help your hearing issues, but are expected to get patients to pay out of pocket for the "best", even if they cannot afford this option. * If you choose to work here - document everything! If you raise a concern, at least record the conversation on your phone. You might not think it matters, but it will should you leave.
