The wait is over.. - Finance FirstCarbon Solutions Employee Review

We greatly appreciate the time any of our former and present employees take to write a Glassdoor review—we understand that there are many other ways you could otherwise use your time. A good political crack is always appreciated as well. That being said, FIRSTCARBON does feel it is important to respond to some of the out-dated and/or inaccurate (near libelous dare we say) statements made in this comment. While the company has been in existence since 1982, FIRSTCARBON SOLUTIONS purchased its predecessor in 2012 and formally changed its name in 2014. As noted by the reviewer, the change in company did make for a major change in company culture and a large expansion in the services that are now offered by the company. In short, the company went from a California based and limited company, to one with international offices and clients to match (although California still does, and will always, play a key role and the original environmental services division remains extremely important). That shift was not without its challenges. As new best-practices were implemented that took into account the expanded company presence, many long-time employees of the former company found the transition difficult. There was a large turnover in the first few years as noted-some voluntary, some not. Internal policies were revised and goals for adding benefits and new employee options were set. Some of these took time. The good news is that FIRSTCARBON has not only stabilized but has started to shine! The number of employees went from approximately 35 at its low to now over 80. We have active contracts in California, across the U.S., and globally. The 401k match was implemented and paid out for the first time this last year. Medical benefit options have expanded and the employer contribution increased. Career Tracks gives all employees a clear pathway to advancement. Annual Salary surveys ensure salaries are competitive. Careful hiring has ensured a talented and enthusiastic staff of which FIRSTCARBON could not be more proud. The services provided are important and often cutting edge.
