ZT Systems reviews

First, I must say these reviews are truly accurate, but I don't see these issues being addressed in the workplace. And notice how the company hasn't responded to a single review, either. Extreme amounts of unnecessary stress due to poor management, disorganization, and general distrust. Workers' (non-management) compensation is low in comparison to similar roles within the same sector. Strongly recommend that individuals apply elsewhere and consider all other options before accepting employment at this company. Wish I had read these reviews before accepting employment here. Environment is oppressive and office is out-dated, hostile, and lacking in employee incentives. Socializing is sorely frowned upon, especially between colleagues who are employed in different departments. Positive re-enforcement and constructive criticism are rare. Instead, discipline and excessive micromanagement are typical responses from management when issues arise, and there are MANY, mostly due to the the lack of organization within teams, poor inter-departmental and employee-manager communication, and extreme secrecy. Too much time wasted on pointless, non-productive team meetings and long e-mail chains that address issues that can be solved in minutes, but seem to stretch over a span of hours, even days, while employees scramble to communicate effectively and get on the same page. Upper management only conveys "necessary information" to employees. In other words, everything is purely on a "need-to-know" basis, and it seems management feels lower-level employees "need-to-know" next-to-nothing, which results in the manifestation of confusion, sloppiness and frustration. Don't rely on Human Resources for any type of guidance or assistance either -- they are just upper management's lackeys. They're also misleading; making empty promises, changing your title/position at the last minute, and/or just lying about your salary, then under-paying you once you are hired.
