What Was Once One of "The Greatest Companies in Houston to Work For" Is Steadily Going Downhill-Wouldn't Recommend
Pros
17 days of PTO that are usable from date of hire. Flexible environment-1 work from home day (big plus!) a week after 6mos of employment, and overall ability to take time off/leave early for personal needs/appointments/events in your life (also a big plus!). Good entry level salary.
Cons
Many of the company's perks have been dissolved since they were bought out by Harland Clarke in early 2014-there used to be even more flexibility (37.5 hour work weeks, 2 work from home days, sick days that did not take away from your PTO). Very little room to grow in the company. Over the last year, some of us have had to take on many roles into one & an increased work load, yet pay has not increased. When someone is on vacation, there must be someone is has to take on ALL of that associate's work while they are out, on top of their own-this gets REAL old, REAL fast. Turnover over the last year has been HORRIBLE. People are quitting on a weekly basis. As a result, we've been hiring for quite some time, but I have never and wouldn't recommend this job to a friend. The head VPs and head of HR has recently visited our branch to try to figure out how all of our issues can be "fixed"...we'll see how that goes.
