The Truth

Pros

- Casual attire is permitted for employees in Inside Sales Division - Office is next door to Top Golf and Talking Stick Casino - I gave this 2 stars instead of 1 due to the fact that GlobalTranz used to be an amazing place to work prior to 2016.

Cons

First off, if you look at the above pictures of GlobalTranz, you will notice 9 employees. Only 1 of these 9 employees is currently employed at GlobalTranz. The other 8 have either voluntarily resigned or have been let go which clearly illustrates the degree of high turnover at this company. GlobalTranz was once very enjoyable to work for. The company was growing very rapidly, morale was high, employees were fairly compensated, management provided clear and direct vision for members of their teams, and there were several opportunities for advancement. To say that the former has taken a complete 180, would be an understatement to say the least. Since a new CEO has been appointed there have been several abrupt changes within GlobalTranz. Although very important, the EBITDA line item has been marked as the only area of significance on the company's balance sheet. This has resulted in substantial pay cuts in a majority of departments within the company. Some employees have experienced up to a 40% pay cut from the prior fiscal year, and are being asked of more now than ever before. This has resulted in several disgruntled and unmotivated employees in various departments, particularly the sales side. SIXTY PERCENT of the sales management staff resigned and/or was terminated, which then led to the Director of Sales voluntarily resigning. This turmoil has bled down to the rep level and has affected morale, which in turn would leave many to believe that the result would be stagnant growth. However, it has been worse and in turn has resulted in a declination of growth from both a Revenue and GP standpoint. This decline has prevented any opportunities for advancement anywhere within the company since the start of 2016. The decline has led to the company avoiding hiring any new sales or operations training classes all together. Before the board decided to lay off 60 employees within Enterprise, Operations, and Sales, the company then rescinded every offer letter sent out to prospective employees who completed and passed the interview process. This goes against general business ethics as several of these prospective employees who received offer letters from GlobalTranz already quit and/or put in their two weeks at their current/former employer. A handful of top sales reps have decided to leave despite making 6k-12k monthly commission checks on top of their 40k base salary (109.2k - 181k per year). How is that even possible to want to walk away from that type of money when you're under 30 years old and making well above the average that someone else in the industry would be making? The answer? It's gotten that BAD!

Extremely Toxic Workplace and Horrendous Leaders

Pros

It is very easy to get hired.

Cons

This one of the worst cultural environments I have ever experienced and it is toxic at all levels from line level employees to executive leadership to the outside sales agents. Globaltranz has no hiring strategy, low hiring standards and no interview process. It shows because most of our managers have no experience in management and most of our entry level roles came from weird recruiting tactics. Another challenge is the complete lack of direction and company vision. This is an inexperienced, unprofessional and unqualified workforce that is selfishly motivated and without direction the behaviors we see daily have become extremely scary. In short, no one has any clue what they’re doing and no one at the highest levels can correct them because they aren’t sure either. The daily behaviors that we witness here at Globaltranz are some of the most horrific things I’ve ever seen, just as a person. Regular occurrences are demeaning insults, vulgarities, threats of all kinds and public humiliation. This happens in-person, over the phone and on e-mail chains. Everyone does it, from our presidents to our sales people. Most everyone in a management role has never managed people. Our new executives live and work out of state then fight with each other at every single opportunity when they do get together. We got rid of COOs, CTOs, Business Development VPs, Development Directors, Finance Directors, Ops Directors, Marketing Managers… this year. I’m not saying any of these people were doing well, but if that many “high level” people had problems then wouldn’t you think it may be a bigger issue? Bad hiring practices? No people development? No gameplan? Sometimes the CEO dozes off in meetings, the CFO is very vindictive, the President does some very shady things and the CTO “works remotely”. The executive suite is usually empty all week (except for the secretary), but when someone does show up it is usually after 10 AM. This might be an indicator of how hands-on they are with us. The good news is they’re going to buy us another ping pong table. You’ll see that it is heavily featured in our culture videos. Pretty much the star of it. Our culture is several gaming tables, professional incompetence, no personal development, no direction and soap opera level drama on an hourly basis. Recommendation is to do whatever you can to not step foot into this environment. You will regret every moment of it and substantially set yourself back both personally and professionally. If you’re already here, I’m very sorry.
