Pros

Good work-life balance with flexible schedules Free tickets to sporting events Wide range of exposure to different issues and systems

Cons

Low wages, wages are set well under industry standard for the surrounding area with your chances of raises / promotions being solely based on how much leadership likes you rather than on work performance. Multiple discussions took place over a year regarding a raise with being drug along and never given a definitive yes or no. Leadership is quickly dismissive of new business ideas or process changes to assist the rest of the organization and deemed as 'bad ideas' and then later the same exact ideas are implemented as a 'good change' when the idea 'comes from them'. Management often takes a combative stance against staff with morning meetings serving as almost dedicated time for the staff to be yelled at for operational shortcomings instead of addressing mismanagement of staff. Departments are quick to challenge one another and adopt an 'us vs you' stance when interacting with one another leading to unnecessary friction within the work environment and drama between staff.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We take all reviews seriously, as they provide an opportunity to reflect and improve. At the same time, we believe it is important to clarify where statements do not accurately reflect how our organization operates. Compensation and benefits at LEFCON are not set arbitrarily. Our salary ranges are independently benchmarked through our payroll provider and evaluated against regional market data for companies of similar size. Based on these comparisons, we consistently fall in the middle of the market. Career progression is also not based on personal preference. We have defined career paths and advancement criteria that are communicated across the organization. These are designed to provide a clear and consistent framework for raises and promotions, and many team members have successfully advanced through this process. Compensation ranges are standardized by role, and candidates are informed of pay and benefits prior to accepting a position so they can make an informed decision. We work to maintain consistency and transparency in how compensation is applied across the team. We also want to address the concern around communication and retaliation. We are not aware of any instances where employees have been penalized for raising concerns with leadership. Creating an environment where employees can speak openly is important to us, and any suggestion otherwise is taken seriously. While we recognize that individual experiences can vary, we do not believe this review fully represents the structure, expectations, or culture we work to maintain. We remain committed to continuous improvement and to providing a professional, growth-oriented environment for our team.
