Stereo D is what you get when management sells their soul's to the devil - Anonymous employee Stereo D Employee Review

This company during the crunch seasons works you to the bone literally! I’ve seen people worked to physical exhaustion, by physical exhaustion I mean complete total collapse of the human body and I know that management has asked these people to come back to work the very next day because they thought that the worker was faking exhaustion despite sending this worker to the hospital. Don’t expect to have a life outside of work. A lot of these people who work at stereo D have extremely understanding family members and friends, either that or this company ends up destroying relationships. Everyone works their butts off while management just goes home on time everyday regardless of how much they work everyone (way to show team support management). The work environment at stereo d is not something that can be understood unless you work there. That’s why many people end up losing a lot of relationships, people assume that a job is always 9-6 and people have the right to say no. But it’s not the case at this company. Schedules for everyone is given Monday the week of work and that doesn’t dictate a real schedule. A lot of the time people are told to work more hours which for fear of their jobs they agree. Don’t expect a raise in pay unless you are part of a select group of friends or suck up to management and then even if you suck up to management, good luck. I know for a fact that certain people get raises, not because they are good at their job but because they know a person in a high position but who am I kidding I know they do that at many companies. I think what sets this company apart from others is that you don’t get a raise at all unless you know someone up high. If you don’t know a person then you will be guaranteed to stay at your rate till you quit or get laid off. This company will purposely keep your rate down and keep on changing performance reviews to a later date so that you won’t get to have an excuse to ask for a raise. My personal experience is that I asked for a raise and was told by management and I mean the direct guys up top that have their offices to themselves that I had to wait for the performance reviews which was postponed by 6 months. Then when that 6 month came by everyone was told that the performance reviews were going to be postponed again by many more months. Let’s do the math for that. Yearly review, 1 yr review plus 6 months plus another 6 month extension for the review = 2 years. If I were to receive a raise then I would have been out of 12 months’ worth of money because they extended the performance review, which is still being extended as far as I know. Why even bring up the topic of a performance review when you don’t give raises? When everyone has a floor meeting, come as a pessimist and question everything they say because there will be lies that will be major down the road. Good luck trying to get full time status also. You’re a temp position for your probation till you cautiously nag them about your full time status which can range from 6 months if you are lucky to 1 year. But nothing is going to happen if you don’t remind them that you want to become full time. I say 1 year also because everyone I knew that stayed for 1 year quit right afterward because they were tired of waiting with the false promises so I don’t know how far that range can go. I have so much more I want to write about but suffice to say all this company is, is just another paycheck that might never go higher. It’s very possible to see your paycheck go lower because there are people who have had that happen. But don’t expect anything from this modern day sweatshop of a company.
