Pros

There used to be some fun perks, such as free water, soda, free lunches on Fridays, but they took all those away. The co-workers were fantastic for the most part.

Cons

Management, management, management. They micromanage everything and everyone, even making you account for bathroom breaks. Metrics are more important to them than anything else. Almost half the company is a "manager" of some sort. Nepotism is a major problem here. One of the managers in particular gets away with being extremely rude to everyone, because he's supposedly really good at his job, but all he did was throw people under the bus for his own mistakes to make himself look good. While I was there, they instituted a "no more overtime" policy, but then made people come in early or work late, or gave them so much work they felt they had no choice but to work late, and then still didn't pay them overtime. The turnover rate here is through the roof due to these practices. Every single office policy is designed to give management all the benefits and take them away from the regular workers.

Computer St. Louis Response
9y
Thank you for your response, I agree that we have a lot of fantastic employees that help make our team great. We do provide free water, soda, and coffee to our employees and have never stopped this practice. Our Friday team lunches have always been based on team performance, and still are, however our 97% client satisfaction score is indicative of the great job we are doing here - and we haven’t missed a lunch in a long time. I’m sorry that your employment ended with you having a negative perception of our management staff. We have worked hard to create an open-door culture where our employees can meet with and be heard by any manager – all the way up to our CEO. This open-door culture allows us to receive feedback from our staff about any potential issues with other staff or management, as long as our employees are willing to speak up. Work-life balance is important to us – we don’t require any of our staff to put in mandatory overtime and if anyone feels that their workload is too much, our management team is happy to discuss it with the employee and make adjustments as needed. I apologize that your experience does not seem to reflect this culture that we are currently enjoying.

Growing company, growth industry, lots of room for advancement. Received regular, generous raises and promotions during my employment. Monthly lunches, quarterly social events, annual swag and productivity allowances. Quality focus - we strive to provide excellent service and reliable solutions to our clients.

Cons

Customer-service driven company, killing with kindness can hurt in some cases.
