PIRCH reviews

The board of directors has released 90% of the executive leadership team since September 2016. All the perks associated to working here have been taken away - including breakfast and lunch, espresso drinks, personal training, and most everything else. Most of the chefs, baristas, marketing dept, boutique staff, and coordinators of joy have all been let go. Suspect that most of the IT, software development, and delivery/install will be next, probably subject to outsourcing. They are heavily restructuring the organization and not backfilling most operations positions as they are evacuated. Lots of talk about switching ERP systems from MS Dynamics to Salesforce.com or NetSuite. Wide variations in salaries between staff with same titles. Previous leadership team essentially squandered $160M+ in venture capital making horrible management decisions, focusing on premature expansion, hiring new executives with outlandish salaries, with heavy bias towards sales and marketing while letting Operations and IT suffer with underfunding, under-appreciation, lack of clear direction/vision/goals, and inefficient processes.

Worked here two years before the change hit. 90% of the original executive staff was let go. I had a bad feeling when they brought us all in a room to make the announcement. I figured well this might work. I've seen this movie before and thought I would give it a month or so to see what the new management would bring to the table. They brought in a new President/CEO from Oakley. I thought, well heck, this could be a great change. They started hiring more chiefs than Indians, leaving the employees hanging. No raises, no more perks, lots of people lost their jobs. They now have more executive staff than they had before, and are continuing to hire people with six figure salaries, yet are on a hiring freeze to relieve their employees of the huge workload they are undertaking. They're trying to be "open" with the staff, but really aren't. Pirch 2.0 (or 2.no) is a joke! This company is now over a mil in the hole with investors that are not happy with the results this new management is bringing in. Every good quality employee is now either gone or miserable in their current positions. I sure hope they find something else and are respectfully paid and treated the way they should be.
