Lack of leadership within management

Pros

I believe the benefits and 401k package I had were really good. We have it good in that sense. I cannot complain about that. Our team building exercises were really fun. Bonuses every quarter for outstanding employees is very nice.

Cons

Departments are mismanaged and do not communicate within the company. Managers are too thick headed to admit when they are wrong and won’t take advice from anyone who isn’t sucking up to them. Also, that is the only way you will get a promotion or moved to a different position is if you suck up to the mangers. The company is too afraid to spend money on the right people and to hire more people when needed. The only people they seem to hire are people in sales and that creates ripple effects throughout the entire company because it puts more work on everyone else with their accounts. The company has too many employees outside of their headquarters of Phoenix, AZ. For a company this size, everyone should be in Phoenix. A lot of the lack of communication is because of this. More than half of the company doesn't even know one another. They even have 3 offices in Phoenix and people from each building don’t even talk with each other, and they are right next door. A lot of egos get in the way and there is way too much gossip between some of the veterans. (People who have been there for 5+ years) There is no training whatsoever. If you are hired, good luck. First it will probably take you 2 weeks to get you a computer because the IT dept. is so backed up and then it probably won’t work. Once you have your computer, management will expect you to know how to do everything as if you've been working there for 15 years.

Pros

Very casual atmosphere, everyone is on a first-name basis and the management always state their willingness to hear feedback from employees. Many employees work from home, and flex-time means that even hourly employees can take time off when they need to. The company is growing very rapidly. The benefits are good, basic health care is covered 100%, 401K matching vests immediately, and everyone gets a ham for Christmas. Sales are treated well and well compensated.

Cons

Turnover is very high. Long-term employees are fired when a quarter's numbers are bad, and sometimes the positions are not backfilled, or not for a long delay, so those who are left get burned out. The company lacks the support staff it needs. For example, HR department is only one person, and they had 3 people in that role in <2 years. Equally high turnover in IT and marketing. They refuse to pay for training and promise (but don't often deliver) opportunities for advancement. Many positions are filled with friends of the CEO or relatives of the owners.

Weak management, no strategy

Pros

They are eager to grow the company and on the surface appear to want to be supportive of their employees.

Cons

Lack of clear leadership from CEO and management team. Eager to acquire organizations without strong methodology or procedures to integrate. Failure to retain value adding employees, let a employee go that contributed over $2.5MM in Revenue Opportunities
