Pinnacle Promotions Reviews

I would give it a 2.5/5 if I could, but that isn't an option. Management is awfully sexist. This is the south and it's a fairly small company, so they can get away with saying some things that maybe a larger company wouldn't be able to, but I think the fact that they cannot keep an HR director employed for any real length of time says a lot. During a company wide meeting I once heard the president say "I worked with a lot of women at my old company, so don't worry, I know how to deal with you all." You will be severely underpaid for the amount of work you do. Which is fine at a first job, I think, especially in sales. However, upon moving up and being given more responsibility you will not be given a substantial raise. Like one other reviewer mentioned, someone once got a "raise" of $500. The amount of work is also staggering. I have heard from many of the people I still keep in touch with that once they found a good job after Pinnacle they were shocked at how not overworked they were. They were also surprised that they had stopped crying at work due to stress. :/ Lots of crying at Pinnacle. Someone cries at least once almost every single day, usually due to being overworked. I really hate to talk so poorly about a company that set me up for a lot of success in my current position, however the majority of what other negative reviewers are saying is not false. If you can deal with Pinnacle for a couple of years you'll be good to go as far as applying for other jobs is concerned, however prepare to be depressed and drink heavily with your coworkers for a couple of years. And prepare to be poor.

A lot of things suck. That's true. But at the end of the day, work is a 4 letter word, and nearly all of my friends hate their jobs. THINGS TO IMPROVE UPON: - Flexibility. There were several times I worked from home and still had to take PTO. More flexibility with hours would do a world of good. If you abuse it, you lose the privilege. But if management would trust us more, then we would trust them more. - Recognition. The only time people started getting recognized who weren't the loud complainers, was when we all campaigned for employee of the month and chose someone from our teams who was doing an actual outstanding job and needed to be noticed. Just because people are loud, doesn't mean they're the best. - Transparency. Several of the managers are good at being transparent, but half of them still make you beg them for information. Not gossip. But things that are actually important to your future with the company. They should be more open about things. Again, trust us and we trust you. - Opportunity. A lot of the people that I know left this company because they had no real opportunities for growth. They need to open up more roles and positions that would allow people to succeed. - Money. I started out at a pretty typical college grad salary. I think that my raises were often times fair, but sporadic. They definitely need a better review process and compensation plan.
