Pros

Company offered Benefits and PTO days up front are nice. Great OPS team members/PEERS!! Some of the best! HR is very approachable.

Cons

Poor upper management leadership. Close to zero growth potential or real opportunities for advancement. There are some of the most transparent cliques in this company, very disheartening. Some of the lowest pay scales in the business, unless upper management. Pay scales are leveraged against "bonuses" that seem to never pay out as planned or promised. Hard work literally does not help pay out bonus plans. Extremely stressful environment at times (most), zero support from upper management, esp in Indy office. Very poor engagement from Senior leadership, act as if they do not have regard for the working folks who go through some very tough times. There is no attention from upper management for folks who are continuously over worked until it is too late and they get let go or quit. Management will literally let you sink before seeing opportunities to help. Very high Turn Over rate due to continued oversight addressing leadership issues and lots of dump and run projects. NO WORK LIFE BALANCE - don't even ask.

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. I would encourage you to reach out to me directly so I can better understand your comment around low pay scales and poor upper management. At Comm-Works, we know that it is our employees that drive our success and thus it is a standard practice to ensure that all of our employees are paid competitive wages in regards to the market. We strive to employ top talent at Comm-Works and seek both within and externally to ensure that we have the right people in the right places. I do want to point out that we have many opportunities for advancement both from a promotional perspective (we are continuously working on developing structured career paths) and from a knowledge perspective. We have many individuals that have been promoted and even some who have completely changed career directions. We also recognize that as a project-based company, the workload and corresponding stress levels can be high at times. Which is why we strive to be considerate of the need for work/life balance while also ensuring we are meeting customer needs. It’s important to me that we continue to be more innovative in the ways we help our employees through the busier times, which is why we are continually looking at continuous improvement options around our processes and software systems to drive better efficiency across the board. Thank you, Al Lampe, CEO
