Thank you for taking the time to write a review! As a distributor it's important for us to make decisions that not only effect the bottom line, but also our most important resource (our employees). Sorry your felt like that wasn't the case.

Management Is Very Short Sighted

Pros

Some flexibility in when and where you can work from. Compensation is about average. They are trying to be forward thinking.

Cons

Raises are pitiful even when they tell you how essential and valued you are. Management operates without ANY consultation with employees - and they really don't seem to have any idea what individual contributors value. Management places zero value on actual experience, they seem to think that a fresh out is just as valuable as an employee with decades of experience.

Appreciate you taking the time to write a review, and highlight that we're trying to be forward thinking. Our #FiveYearsOut campaign has picked up a lot of speed! I would encourage you to speak with your HR Business Partner about what's going on with your team. We want this to be a collaborative place for our employees, and your HRBP can support both individual contributors and managers in achieving those goals.
