Valuable experience, at a cost. - Business Development Manager Concept Services Employee Review

The company is ran somewhat like a High School. They like to constantly talk about being professional, however, employees are not treated in a professional manner. You are considered to be "late" to work if you show up at 8:01am. They still believe in doing "annual reviews" and even verbal and then "written warnings" if you show up at 8:01am more than two times. (I personally drove about 40 minutes via the two busiest highways in the state of Ohio each morning to work for this company) They simply do not value any of their employees, everybody is considered replaceable. When you compare salaries of Business Development Managers at any other company in Ohio, or around the country for that matter, Concept Services pays roughly half of what others pay its employees. It takes a full two calendar years until you have earned one week of paid vacation. They do not believe in personal days or sick days. While I was employed at Concept Services one of my co-workers was preparing to become a Father for the first time, and he was told he would not be able to have more than two days off of work paid to be home with his wife and new born baby. Every month a new, random, metric was suddenly more valuable to them instead of just final results. Suddenly the % of your day that was spent on the phone was more important than actually speaking with Key Decision Makers and ultimately setting sales appointments. Which led to employees cheating the system and staying on hold with a companies automated system to make it look like they had a more productive day. It does not matter to them if you have a more unique skill set and are able to produce the same results they ask for in a different way, they want you to do it the old fashioned way that they have always done business by (an extremely dangerous business practice) The walls of the building are littered with random, pointless quotes by the CEO of the company.
