Pros

Pros - Benefits are great, although prices are increasing next year.

No follow through. Forced to have 80 hours on your time card, never allowed to take a smaller paycheck.

We’re sorry to hear that you are unhappy with Umialik as an employer. We take employee suggestions and comments very seriously, and we value the employees that work for us. Please know that although each position at Umialik is a full-time position with work volumes that support 80-hour pay periods, we are often able to allow employees to turn in their time cards with less than 80 hours if the situation warrants it. We encourage you to reach out to your supervisor or to Human Resources for additional information. Unfortunately, earlier this year was the exception to this rule when we found ourselves in a situation where we needed our staff to work overtime to meet customer service needs. Although mandatory overtime ended in early August, we understand that overtime pay does not always make up for the loss of personal time. We also appreciate the opportunity to address the 2017 engagement survey. While we discussed the finalized survey and action items in the May 2018 quarterly results meeting, it sounds like we could have done a better job communicating the survey outcome. We’re happy to pass that information along. Please feel free to contact Umialik leadership for a copy of the points outlined in that meeting. Thank you for taking the time to review Umialik. We want all of our employees to feel supported, and we’re always looking to improve. If you have any questions or would like to discuss your review/suggestions further, we’d welcome the opportunity to meet with you. Please reach out to our Human Resources Department by stopping by or emailing HRmail@wnins.com.

We’re happy to hear that you feel recognized and supported at Umialik! We also appreciate your suggestions on how to make Umialik an even better place to work. We’re looking at setting up two additional workstations in the training room, as well as obtaining additional furniture to accommodate more work space. In regard to an additional UA, we are in the process of evaluating work flows and work volumes. Thank you for your feedback and for being a long-time Umialik employee!

Pros

Good Benefits. Nice office space.

Cons

You will be repeatedly told there is no room in the budget for raises or advancements while someone coming into the position will be paid significantly more. You will be told how great you are and then have things dumped on you over and over again and then held back. There is no real advancement in that company. You will be talked down to by your peers and berated by your superiors one moment and the next be told your amazing. Your work only matters when management is being looked at. At that point you are told to rush and quality doesn't matter. Training is non-existent unless you are willing to train yourself. You will be told you have a on-boarding document that will never show up but will be constantly told about it and asked about it like its your fault management never produced it. There isn't enough staff and they are constantly behind. You will be expected to train sometimes multiple people while keeping up your work load which can be an impossible feet.

We take each review we receive seriously, and we’re troubled by your perception of our company. Employee engagement is a key component to our company culture and values.
