Horrible place to work - Anonymous employee HRchitect Employee Review

Firstly, I would like to thank you for taking the time to review your experience working at HRchitect. It is through feedback from all our employees (past and present) that we are able to continually improve upon our employee experience. I was very disappointed to read of your negative experience working for the company. While I don’t know the specifics around your specific situation, and an apology will regrettably not alter the outcome of your employment experience, I do extend it with all sincerity. We do pride ourselves on offering highly competitive compensation to our consultants. I was concerned to read your comment about final compensation, and in my understanding, believe this is referring to severance packages, which we offer where appropriate. We pay bi-weekly in the current pay period (not in arrears) which ensures that employees are paid for all hours worked. Unfortunately, the consulting industry in the HCM space can be volatile in terms of demand, so we make our best efforts to insulate our team from that risk by offering cross training in other implementation practices in the event that one consulting practice slows down. Turnover at HRchitect is extremely low, especially when compared with other firms, and layoffs are an absolute last resort. We’ve had minimal layoffs in the 20-year history of the company, and included some type of severance package when appropriate, regardless of whether the state that employee worked in requires one or not. I’m sorry to hear that you heard negative comments from former employees. Referrals from employees currently make up a large percentage of our workforce and we feel this is a testament to the positive experience our employees currently have. We will always be working to improve our employee experience and this was reflected in HRchitect recently being named a “Great Place to Work.” I’m pleased to share some of the changes that we’ve instituted in past years to improve this including offering Unlimited PTO, continually improving our benefits package including a wellness allowance, opportunities for leisure travel for in-person team bonding and meetings, and we have many more enhancements planned for the near future. Thank you for your feedback, and we’re sorry that you didn’t have a better experience working with us. We wish you all the best in the future, and if you ever would like to discuss further, please reach out to Matt Lafata or our HR team at any time.
