Hello and thank you for taking the time to provide your input. We have reviewed your feedback and while we agree that our people are the best part of working at Aires, we would like to address your concerns regarding our company's culture of inclusion and diversity. While it is true that Aires strives to create an inclusive and supportive work environment for all employees regardless of their beliefs or backgrounds, we would disagree that this is a negative feature. We pride ourselves on being a place where people can be their authentic selves, and we believe that fostering such an environment is crucial for our success. We stand by our commitment to creating a workplace that upholds respect, integrity, and professionalism and feel it is important for all employees to adhere to these standards. While we regret that your experience with us was not as positive as we would have hoped, your comments suggest a misalignment with these core principles, and so we believe that parting ways was likely in the best interest of both parties. However, we take all feedback seriously and are committed to addressing any concerns raised by our current and former employees. We welcome the opportunity to learn more about your experience and the issues you faced. If you would like to connect on this further, please reach out to our HR team - HR@aires.com, so we can discuss your concerns in more detail and work towards improving our workplace culture.

Pros

The good truly outweighs the bad. They are pretty flexible to make sure you have a good work/ life balance. Summers are busy, but that's expected in this industry. If are looking to just ride a clock Monday- Friday 8-5pm then this is not the place for you. You stay busy. I'm not aware of them ever having a layoff, so that speaks volumes about leadership.

Cons

I wish the heath insurance package was better/ cheaper and they provided tuition assistance, but other that's all I can think of. I also wish we received pay increases were more in line with inflation, but at least we received one.

Pros

- Hybrid work culture - There were some genuine good people I worked with here

Cons

Worst IT department I have ever worked at. Weak leadership that flat out ignored concerns that were brought up and only sought to place blame instead of correcting problems when something went wrong that they were warned about multiple times. This contributed to their mindset of making every little thing "urgent" - even when it wasn't, or when other employees didn't follow proper procedures they wanted it done anyway. Toxic environment with extremely poor communication and dishonesty. Micromanagers who lied and manipulated information, constantly covering up their incompetence and inability to manage others - with an extreme lack of accountability and integrity. Would tell people to get certifications and then never empower or promote employees who got them. Just got shoveled more work onto their plates without proper training on an already small staff while they never lifted a finger to help out or defend their teams when needed. Refused to enforce established policies and instead bowed down to other managers/directors who had no business sticking their nose in IT department operations - most of whom had subordinates who could barely use a computer correctly or follow directions, then cried like a toddler until they got their way.
