Pros

I have been with Avitus Group for over 6 years. Over that time I've seen tremendous growth within the company and within myself. As a female in the company and after I saw the last post I wanted to give honest feedback from an employee who has been here for 6+ years (not one who's been there under a year), and have been give the support and autonomy to work with my members, enhance my personal and professional growth, and have a great team behind me (not just the HR team, but the entire company as a whole). Avitus Group did in fact start in Billings, Montana. And in a short 20 years has grown to be nationwide with offices in Florida, New Jersey, California, Denver, Anchorage, etc. When I started in 2011 there were under 100 employees, and now we have over 300 incredibly talented people on our team. To me that says a company is doing something right. Sure, there are growing pains. Any company that has tremendous growth will have them. We learn from the pains & issues, and become a better company because of them. Every company has competitors, but I believe our company stands out from the crowd and sets us apart from the large PEOs where you're just a number. I know each of my clients by name and I've met a large portion of their employees. I enjoy coming to work every single day for the past 6 years, and I 100% look forward to my future professional growth with Avitus Group and the growth of the company as a whole. It has been incredibly exciting to watch the Denver office be a handful of people to now becoming the company's headquarters with 30 employees and growing. People who complain on here about a company were clearly not a good fit, as the people who want to work hard, learn a ton, be part of growth, work through the hard times, and enjoy the good times - are still around and passionate about they do. If you are just planning on collecting a paycheck and getting by then I can tell you Avitus Group absolutely is not the company for you. We are held to high standards, and I hold the company to standards equally as high.

Cons

With tremendous growth comes growing pains. We need to continue to work through them and continue to be the best company we can. I know we are in the midst of a software/technology upgrade and that's my biggest complaint - being behind the times a bit, but we are making massive headway.

Pros

Wonderful people - they truly are like a second family. Great work/life balance. I never felt obligated to miss my kids' activities or appointments. Good base pay and decent benefits. I was part of the COVID-caused layoffs, and I would still love to go back to Avitus Group if they were hiring. All of the comments I've read about nepotism or the "Billings Mafia" are sickening. If they'd taken the time to get to know the people they are accusing, they'd understand why they truly are the best people for the positions they're in. There were a few promotions that I disagreed with, but that happens everywhere. Sometimes, because people are exceptional at their jobs, it is assumed that they would be good leaders. Unfortunately, that's not always true. This is a great company to work for, and they do care about their employees. Sometimes tough decisions have to be made, which goes for any business. Not just Avitus.

Cons

I'm sure it is a concerning environment to work there right now, since Covid is still wreaking havoc in the country. This will probably lower the company morale. All I can say is, hang in there.

Pros

Coming to this job I was blown away by the friendly and attentive management. I was lucky enough to be employed by a company that understands life happens outside of the office! Outside of them being so appreciative of my family life, they are very attentive to their employees. If you work hard and produce results you are rewarded! I came from a company who made promises and didn't follow through; Now I work for a company that not only appreciates my work ethic, but embraces and rewards me for it. I know without a doubt that this company and it's employees are more than just my 8-5 peers, but also an extension of my family. When it comes to the people in charge, I have never seen more enthusiasm or pride. They have built this company from the ground up. They are humble people who understand that the employees and clients are what keep the company growing, and they have the upmost appreciation for both.

Cons

The only thing I would like to see improve in the company is more background on how the company started. There isn't a very strong "orientation" process. It would be great to instill the pride you see from the owners in the employees by helping them get to know the people, and company they work for. I think if there was more time spent on the systems, procedures and history more people would feel the pride that the Board members feel.
