Worst Company I've Ever a Worked For!

Pros

Absolutely none. Avoid this employer even if you're desperate.

Cons

Where to begin; the most disrespectful, egotistical, arrogant and misguided management on the planet. The management claims to create an "environment of excellence" and brags about their culture of "brutally honest" feedback. At least the brutal part is true. The rest is smoke and mirrors and self rationalization. There's little to no training. Instead new employees are thrown to the wolves to sink or swim on their own in a culture fraught with dishonesty, rampant lying, CYA tactics and backstabbing. The so-called lucrative bonus structure Is virtually unobtainable with impossible, constantly moving targets. The top management is crude, rude and routinely trample over labor laws, particularly when it comes to discrimination. They relentlessly clock watch and demand ludicrous hours for minimal pay and benefits. Don't buy their recruiting spiel - it's mostly a sham. Sr. Management records every employee's phone calls and there is 0 privacy. They curse, call employees names and in once instance the CEO threatened to hit an employee after calling him a liar and every 4 letter word in the book in front of the entire office. The next day he ordered the office manager to "use that software we installed" to pull up all the employees phone calls so he "could get that ...... " (fill in the blank). Management thrives on publicly humiliating employees for even minor errors. They routinely lie with their essential sales pitch amounting to tell prospective targets anything they want to hear. This is not a place you want to work!

Questionably Ethical "Sales Driven" Culture

Pros

Connex provides employees a lot of autonomy. Attending conferences was exciting and I developed a strong network within a specific industry while I worked there.

Cons

If you are not in sales, management doesn't really know how to empower or coach you, as the company is entirely "sales driven". Under the pretense of honesty and an open-culture, management and other employees feel entitled to give negative, and sometimes untrue feedback.

This place is a joke

Pros

My paychecks never bounced. On site events sometimes provided interesting networking.

Cons

They truly see people as dollar signs. Senior management does nothing to help those with potential and they LIE LIE LIE LIE LIE to anyone to get what they want. They lie to applicants who never understand the product they are selling, the management lies to each other to keep everyone happy and of course they lie to clients about their product. Surviving Connex is all about making sure someone else is under fire - it is honest to goodness the most toxic work environment I have ever witnessed. Pretty funny when you consider one of the major markets they serve and "problem solve" for is HR.
