E-filliate Reviews

Unfortunately the downsides to working at E-filliate are many. 1 - the pay. Pay is below average no matter what your position or experience. Senior management believes you should be appreciative that they have given you the opportunity to work for E-filliate and that should be rewarding enough. The company gives raises very sparingly, and when they do it is minimal - more of a slap in the face. Raises were frozen for over 3 years even though the company was making more money than ever. 2 - the benefits. There are of course the standard medical and dental benefits available to you but at about the highest rates you can get. I know I was better off going on my wife's insurance than having any coverage with E-filliate. There are ZERO sick days and 1 week of PTO your first year (increases to 2 weeks after your first year). PTO must be used for everything, even if you need to take a few hours off. Important: this applies to SALARY employees also. 3 - many layoffs, high turnover, not enough staff. There have been many rounds of layoffs through the years, including those of middle management employees, and no replacement of staff. With the company going in multiple directions, there are a lot more duties to be performed with about 50% of the staff, most of which are entry level, inexperienced workers. Add this to the number of people who have quit without being replaced and it's not the best situation to be in. 4 - lack of training and experience. You are required to basically teach yourself every job that you are given since there usually isn't somebody around to help teach you (they have either quit or been laid off). The company is too cheap to pay for the necessary training either. 5 - employee morale. Employee morale is very very low, and with good reason. You are verbally beaten down on a daily basis for never being good enough (well what do you expect when I am doing a job I have no training in?) and you are used to your co-workers continually quitting (good for them!) or being laid off. Not too much to be happy about.

But the Christmas party, the lunches, and the various kings tickets and event tickets DO NOT PAY THE BILLS. The employee consensus is that we would much rather get a raise annually or at least have a 6 month review process for the chance to receive a raise. There is absolutely no room for growth here unless you work in the office, and even then you have to suck up to management to do so. The management here overall is just a joke. They do not respect the intelligence of the people beneath them. Morale at E-Filliate is awful at least in the DC because of lack of pay, no communication from upper management, management taking credit for innovations or ideas, let alone all the politics that go into making a simple change in the workplace. The company is expanding at a rapid rate but the manager does not want to promote from within. He likes to bring "highly skilled individuals" who frankly don't have much skill at all. There is favoritism between management and temps.
