Beware of AIM! - Software Developer Advanced Information Management Employee Review

The vibe at AIM is professional and fun. The Software Developers, Infrastructure team, Customer Support and Management are smart, vibrant, caring people. I really enjoy the laid-back feel and the passion that the employees have for building and supporting incredible platforms. I have been treated very well and am grateful to have a wonderful AIM family of highly-gifted individuals. I am excited about the transformation of the office interior--the new cubicles, designed to offer comfort and space are mindful of 6ft. of protection rules. The leaders of AIM are compassionate and understanding. During the Covid crisis the leaders remained available for any crisis, "keeping business as usual" as normal for the team as possible. The team is well compensated and every person receives paid vacation and ample sick time.

The office becomes very hectic during the busy season, we will need to hire additional people!

None - Very little positive to say when the company is actively stealing from employees, fails to pay employees, turns off health insurance without warning, and generally promotes a hostile work environment.

The company's downfall started slowly; paychecks started becoming infrequent (despite multiple requests, we never had direct deposit). In 2020, we were offered an IRA with a 3% match. However, it quickly became apparent that the money that was supposed to be coming from our paychecks never made it into the IRA. The real downfall was about two years ago when they hired a new COO; he was very hostile to employees: talking down to employees, threatening us when discussions about seeking legal action for missed paychecks and IRA issues were brought up or getting upset and screaming at us simply because he didn't understand the work we were doing. In September of 2023, the situation deteriorated further. The CEO/President, Glen, stopped communicating, leaving most of his employees unpaid. I received my last paycheck on 9/28/2023, unaware that it would be the final one I ever received from the company. During this period, when we did get in contact with management we were fed a string of lies by the COO and CEO to keep us working. In 2024 we never received our W-2s. The company's silence was deafening, with attempts to contact the CEO, COO, or HR usually going unanswered. I decided to leave the company in March of 2024. This situation is not just toxic; it's a clear case of severe mismanagement and illegal practices. In NYS, it’s been tough to get the state to act on investigating this company’s issues. This company's C-level officers mentioned above should face severe consequences for their actions and neglect of their employees.
