Excellent Company - Tech Support Tier I Applied Integration Employee Review

Great team and a great place to work

there was nothing bad at this company

Gave me a chance to prove my IT knowledge

If you ask for a raise it will create a hostile work environment with the owner, "D". Everyone is underpaid so there is a bad attitude in the workplace. "D" doesn't care about his employees. I had my vacation revoked last minute and lost $500-600 in things i couldn't get refunded. My wife had to waste her vacation days at home. "D" had problems with a client's systems and told me that I would lose my job if I went on that vacation. After I found a new job I spoke with another old coworker who had since left Applied and we both had experiences where "D" would tell us both the same thing and pit us against each other. also, watch out for him setting up your initial pay incorrectly. He likes to setup paychecks to be paid twice monthly (ie - 24 paychecks/year), and then set your pay to only equal your salary if there were paychecks every other week (ie - 26 paychecks/year). example: if he hires you at $50,000/year then with twice monthly checks you should get $2083.33 before taxes, but Don will set it up so you only get paid $1923.08 before taxes. This leaves him ample ground to backpedal on by saying it was just a mix-up... just make sure you do the math...
