Alutiiq reviews about "training"

Probably gov't contractor-related, but no raises or bonuses over 5 yrs of work, other than a miniscule 1-2% "cost of living" increase.

Unfortunately due to extenuating outside factors and circumstances beyond our control, Corporate decision to refocus growth on the Continental US.

Contract management assigns one admin to multiple branches (government sites) with different policies, procedures and branch heads instead of paying for one admin per branch, as would be the most efficient way. Quickly leads to burnout.

There is no room for real growth in the company. I recieved no proper training, and found out afterwards that my peers were told not to help me when I had questions. Favoritism was also very obvious throughout the office--only the people in the "in crowd" were able to certain things that others were scolded for. A lot of the management were unprofessional at times, letting personal feelings dictate how they interacted with people.

Supervisors were allowed to promote individuals without skill, while leaving others with knowledge, skills, and seniority to take on being POCs and training facilitators for all other secretaries and admin. None of the work was secretary work. It was all administrative and finance. They got away with underpaying by labeling the positions as "secretary".

I was salary and worked on average 60-70 hours a week and was only paid for 40 but that's salary for you. On call 24/7 received call offs and phone calls on all holidays, weekends, nights all the time and not paid for any additional time put in.

- no PTO until 1 year of work - no promotion potential - no training or development opportunities

Be prepared for a lot of call-offs. Management didn't really enforce attendance policies so be prepared to cover for them.
