Draining, days are up and down. - Anonymous employee B2BGateway.net Employee Review

So at first, I thought working in southern Rhode Island was going to be horrible. Out in the woods with nothing around, but it is not like that. The office is right next to RT 95, I can hear the cars in my cubicle. I can leave my desk and be in downtown Providence in less than 35 minutes. (most days). Driving from where I live, south to Exit 2, rather than into Providence is huge, because there is no traffic. Lately, we have all kinds of different food trucks coming down to the office on Wednesdays, and we get to have great food. Housing is cheaper down this way and I'm thinking about buying a house nearby.

It gets busy. There is a rush season in the fall, but it settles out the rest of the year. Some projects need to happen right away so at times you need to scramble or work overtime (paid) to get it done. The lawn is still muddy, since this is a brand new building. it will be better when the soccer field and Volleyball courts are completed.

I worked at B2BGateway straight out of college and I thought it was great at first. It was a mid sized company and management was accessible. We had some freedom to do things in new ways and we could suggest changes, and they actually got made. But, then I started listening to some of the other employees complaining. That is when I realized that this place sucked and decided to find a new job.

I expected the new job to be awesome, compared to B2B. It started out OK, but it really (yeah it sounds stupid), wasn't half as good as B2B. At the new company, the people we scared of losing their jobs, we always worked overtime without pay, we never had free lunches, free coffee, free snacks, or any fun. There was no training at this new job, B2B put me through months of C# training, and then let us work on cool projects all during work hours. I would like to go back, but I do make a little more money here. Honestly, I should have talked to my manager, rather then thinking the grass was greener.
