When I look at job postings, I also look at the reviews that their past and current employees have given them. Glassdoor and Indeed would never allow you to be brutally honest about an employer, but if I had the time, I will most likely put out a website that will allow people to add their employers and add brutal reviews.
I want to know about your boss. I want to know about your co-workers. I want to know if you’re sitting in the parking lot crying before you walk in. I want to know if the majority of the people in your office are racist. I want to know if management just sweeps bullying and harassment under the rug. I WANT TO KNOW THE DIRTY SHIT.
Friendly Co-Workers But Management Is Cheap
Only executives receive bonuses. If you’re on the lower end of the totem pole, forget getting a bonus – at least you get stock options. Because they think your livelihood depends on the stock market. Benefits are good but no one wants to take Aetna so you’re shit out of luck there, too. Mostly everyone is cool though.
Owner Has An Asian Fetish – and Is Racist
I only took this job because I was desperate. But it required doing something I went to school for, so what the hell. They put me on a 6-month probation starting at $18/hr, 30 hours a week. I thought I was doing a good job because feedback was always positive. But after my 6-month probation, they reduced my hours to only 20 hours a week. What the fuck?
I quit though. But, anyway, be careful if you do decide to apply for any of their positions here. Your pay will be shit but they expect you to work your ass off. If you don’t sell anything, you won’t make that much money. You’re basically surviving off of commission. The owner has an Asian fetish and when you walk in, everyone who works there is an Asian woman – except for the office manager.
Owner is also racist and thinks dressing up as a gorilla and walk around saying he’s Obama for Halloween is funny.
0/5 stars. No joke.
Chill Place but It’s a Fire Hazard
The are boxes and boxes of records since the 80s. The owner would rather just let them pile up than digitize them because he’s cheap.
You’re by yourself most of the time which is cool, but you can’t even go in the backroom which is also the kitchen because there’s a tower of boxes in your way.
This Is Where You Second Guess Your Dignity
I’m being nice here and giving this place 1 star because at least they dole out bonuses twice a year and they also contribute to your FSA. Caution, don’t ever work at a place where they tell you they treat every one like family.
Also, too many Trumpers under one roof. And if you’re a woman, be prepared for other women to hate you. Also, be prepared to be sexually harassed and be blamed for it . They will also guilt you for calling in sick.
Always check the web site and look up their leadership team. If it’s all old white men, just click on the [x] button at the top corner and move on.
Your boss will never have your back unless you’re her favorite. And be careful when working for someone who talks shit about the person who had your position before you got there.
Lab Director
…Has bipolar disorder and isn’t medicated.
You’re An Important Part Of The Team Until You’re Not
Pros: Significant raises and bonuses. Everyone is great to work with. Awesome retirement plan. You can work from home full-time if you want to. No expenses spared when it comes to employee events. Free lunches at least three times a month.
Cons: The director is an awkward geek who was stuffed in a locker too many times in high school and is now jerking off to being management.
