EMX: behind the facade

Pros

-Work alongside many recent college graduates -Free lunch about once a week -Good pay for such menial and brainless tasks

Cons

-Brutally boring work. (there are two divisions of the company: 1) Data Integrity- consisting of multi-month long scanning trips and basic data entry 2) Revenue Recovery- consisting of haphazard searches for documents through land data systems to solve a puzzle that you don't have all of the pieces to... also, this has now become a nearly non-existent part of the company) -Learning ceases after about a month of being employed here. -Zero transparency from upper management, which is seemingly simple in such a small company. -HR claims to pay for all training/certifications but become suspiciously hard to contact when an employee actually wants to go to a training seminar. -On the job training is minimal and ineffective. -Middle management has all been promoted based on length of tenure rather than merit, and receives zero training before or after the promotion. -It is currently March, and the "End of the Year" bonus that was promised to be delivered in Jan, then again in Feb, still has not been physically delivered. -A recent cost-saving switch in benefits providers has led to a loss of the fully funded HSA account for employees, but was replaced by a 401k match. However, management failed to mention the fact that this matching has a low percentage cap and also includes a 3 year vesting period. (see transparency comment above) -Projects are led and initiated without proper planning or resources in place, which inevitably sets them up for failure. -Micro management from the "higher-up" is stifling innovation and growth, including the refusal to even use Microsoft Office.

Pros

They really motivate you when you're hired. They tell you about the limitless growth, leadership academies, sponsorship for any training or certification you so choose, lunch and snacks provided, etc. Really makes you excited about this company's outlook!

Cons

Once you're hired, you feel cheated. You see coworkers around you getting laid off for no apparent reason. Countless promises have been unfulfilled (talk to the ex-coworkers that are still owed thousands of dollars). They make you sign a "non-disclosure" that was pretty much a response to everyone writing a glassdoor review. 15 of my coworkers were pretty much laid off for starting a hoot over EMX's terrible reimbursement policy. Cash is STRAPPED here. Don't expect any loyalty or any WRITTEN promises actually executed. You've read what everyone else has to say below me. Believe them.

Pros

Some of the co-workers were great, decent office location, good hours

Cons

I sincerely hope that at the time of my death, this will have been the worst job that I will have held in my life. It really can only go up from here. The only thing that I can imagine being worse would be making doorknobs in prison, and that would likely require fewer pointless, dull meetings. The work itself is terribly mundane - mostly scanning documents and data-entry. It requires very little thought and I developed very few skills during my time at EMX (aside from possibly patience with incompetent upper management?). During my interview they asked, "Do you mind occasional travel?" and then within my first two weeks, sent me on a 6-month scanning trip. A nearly 6-month, 5-days-a-week stretch is by no means "occasional travel". Also, their travel reimbursement policy was the worst. They wouldn't even pay for us to come home each weekend...ridiculous, especially given that upper management spent years at Accenture. You think they would have learned something about good travel policy, having spent so much time on the road himself. Just one of many examples of them not treating employees well. There was also a startling lack of transparency within the company. I don't think I fully appreciated how terribly opaque they were until I moved to my new company. I can honestly say that I have no idea how much money they were bringing in each year, much less the size and scope of the projects that I was assigned to. They would give you one task, but would never tell you how it fit into the greater picture. We were never told about gained business, lost business, renewals, etc. I hear they recently had several rounds of lay-offs with no warning - I'm certain this lack of transparency is why people were caught off guard. Hard to tell when you're on a sinking ship when no one's even told you that you're on a boat. There was also a lack of awareness from upper management. Often the blame when projects went awry (too often) was placed on the lowest person in the totem pole. They never took the time to do proper due diligence to figure out the source of the issues, they would just find a scapegoat and move on. It's the responsibility of the managers to make instructions clear from the get-go, especially as requirements would vary from client to client, otherwise obviously people down the line will mess up. Get it together. Furthermore, most promotions were based off of tenure at the company, not actual skill. This led to many teams being run by incompetent, ill-equipped managers (though there were a few good ones). They also didn't 401k match, which sucks. People applying for jobs here, have some self-respect and go somewhere where the company actually cares for the well-being of their employees and doesn't just see them as disposable office supplies.
