Money Focused and is a thoroughly disorganized - Anonymous employee ProActive Technologies Employee Review

Proactive underbid a simulation contract so much that they had to cut costs everywhere. How much you ask? Employees who stayed on looked forward to more than quadruple their previous work load and were rewarded with a substantial pay cut. Critical aspects of the job, such as shipping of spare parts were nonexistent. New employees who replaced the mass exodus that followed were ill and mis informed and did not have the skill set to succeed or any idea what they would be doing. They relied almost entirely on the veterans to learn how to do everything. The Proactive management was nonexistent and only appeared when they needed something--such as travel with 12 hour notice. Fine. Things like that happen outside Proactive's control. I was never reimbursed expenses for the trip. There was a total of two trips I was not reimbursed for and refused further travel until this was resolved. As you can imagine management got their act together and promptly paid me back... just kidding. Other problems included HR's own ineptitude. Most employees' health insurance were not processed and required constant calls and messages (since they rarely picked up their phone) to get this sorted out. Health insurance paperwork had been filled out and sent back within 24 hours but simple acknowledgment from HR that it was being processed took over 4 weeks. I personally received health insurance after 4 months of submitting the paperwork. Two weeks after I left the job, Proactive emailed me saying they over paid me. I replied saying they'll get their money back when I get paid for the expenses I never received. Overall, it would've been a net loss for Proactive. I never received a followup email.
