Avoid EEI Communications at All Costs! - Contractor - Copyeditor EEI Communications Employee Review

There is rarely a boring day at EEI - always a new challenge or something new to learn. No micro-management, employees are encouraged to work individually or as a team to think outside the box and create their own solutions or ideas about how something should be done. Work environment is relaxed, flexible scheduling. Surrounded by very intelligent team members who are highly skilled in their area of expertise. Employees are accountable to themselves and their teammates. Employees are encouraged to be proactive and learn new skills, participate in workshops, webinars, etc...

In a small relaxed office environment sometimes internal communication can suffer.

There are still no pros about this company.

The current CEO was on the management team when EEI was actively selling services, and just as actively not paying their contractors. None of us will ever forget reaching out to upper management for help in securing payment for services already rendered. While the responses varied, the most common one we all heard was "Sit tight. You are next in line for payment." Those who chose to believe those words are STILL OWED over $30,000 EACH. The rest of us took EEI to court only to have EEI settle the day before each court date. So for those of you reading the Recruiting Manager's Comment on June 19, 2014 with the advice "Please remember that anytime you have an issue or a problem, you can always reach out to a team member at EEI, including someone in upper management, who would be happy to work with you in finding the best solution."—I wouldn't expect to actually get a solution. Past behavior remains the best predictor of future behavior.
