Pros

-lunch. -10 min break -leaving home -when they have a good receptionist -when bosses are in a good mood

Cons

-No management structure - SALES REP, harass others to get things done when they can also contribute. Always foward emails , “please handle.” While they sit at their desk all day - too much drama - some departments feel highly of others and talk down to others -favortism -pick up high management slack -always get blamed for not doing enough , (basically doing other peoples job) - girl jealously outrages to picking on people at work.

Hi, thank you for your review. We appreciate you taking the time to give our company constructive criticism as we are always looking to improve. We value all feedback from employees, whether past or present. Each situation is specific, and it is helpful to have an understanding of various viewpoints, as in all issues. We always stress that Elite has a fast-paced, results-driven environment, where it may seem as if all the work is concentrated on a few people, but please understand that everyone ‘wears multiple hats,’ and we strive to conduct our business in a way that motivates everyone to work hard every day that they come to work. It is our belief that the senior management doesn’t let anyone get an easy pass as described in your review—including management. We strive to keep-up with changes in technology and place goals throughout many departments to keep up with our highly-competitive industry. While change is not a concept easy to embrace, we endeavor to implement this idea in all aspects of our operation. This may lead to conflicts necessary to identify the need for organization, structure, and systems to help drive results. Conflicts, in our view, cannot be reduced to gender disagreements as described in your review. We would like to thank you for your many years dedicated to Elite, and we hope to have provided some light to your past experience.

Hi, thank you for your review. We take into consideration every word said about our company, and we value the time you took to express the sentiments prompted by your experience. We would like to take the time to address your comments in an effort to bring light to your past experience with our company. We have ensured that our parking lot is big enough to accommodate all employees, which includes both warehouse and office employees—we admit that some parking spaces are further out than others, and require a less than 5-minute walk, but we have enough parking for all. Our manufacturing facility and warehouse is located in the same area as the office; therefore, trucks and company vehicles often need to maneuver their way around the parking lot, which requires us to address when employees’ cars are blocking these vehicles, or other cars belonging to employees. However, this only happens when employees double-park or park in non-designated parking spots. Regarding OSHA and labor violations, Elite is subjected to and satisfies requirements expected of any business operating in the state. Regarding sexual harassment/unethical work practices/managerial favoritism, we are saddened that this was your experience, and we would have liked to help you through this experience while you were working here. We require all new employees to undergo sexual harassment training, so as to be equipped with the knowledge to discern what is considered sexual harassment for the ethical edification of our team members, and in keeping with state law.

Pros

It wasted years of my life. I really-don’t recommend it.

Cons

Poisonous working environment, Everything is controlled and micromanaged by Bosses so no one have any opinion or voice as a professional. No matter how good you do, you will be always unappreciated. They treated their employees really unprofessional and discriminated them. Unfair salary , no vacation. HR is not on employees sides and the only thing they do is monitoring your internet and spy on your computer.

Hi, Thank you for your review. We take into consideration every word said about our company, and we appreciate you taking the time to leave us feedback. We wish that we would have gotten to hear from you while you were still working at Elite. We stress that we have a fast-paced environment where we hold every employee to the highest standards, we understand this type of environment is not a fit for everyone. We expect every employee to perform to the highest standards, and we operate via a performance-based system, so as to encourage our employees to stay motivated and to put their best work forward each day. We are saddened that in hindsight, you felt your experience was an "unfair" one and you felt "unappreciated." We welcome your feedback on what else we can do as a company to show appreciation for the diligence each employee demonstrates in the fulfillment of their jobs, aside from how we currently demonstrate appreciation such as year-end bonuses, increases in salary granted to keep up with changes in the economy, company events held throughout the year to award performance, the sponsorship of a 401K account, monthly birthday celebrations, and certificates of appreciation issued on a regular basis.
