Pros

I have worked here over a year now and started right before the pandemic! Our CEO vowed to keep everyone employed and their paychecks coming, which he did! He truly cares for and supports his employees. We work really hard, but also have a lot of fun doing it and are frequently rewarded for our hard work! This is a small team (which could also be seen as Con), but that makes us all the more closer! We truly are a work family!

Cons

We're a small team, so a lot of work falls on each person, but that gives you ownership and something to really be proud of! We do not make our customers sign contracts, so our monthly business is not guaranteed and it can be stressful when revenue is down. The pandemic definitely did not help! Two feisty Italian men run this company, so their passion sometimes comes across harshly, but they honestly just really care about the success of this company!

Business outlook

Pros

- Supportive staff in the List/Data team, graphics department, and some of the sales staff. - Clean office environment. - Good for experience

Cons

- Management has little to no understanding of technology, but still assumes that you are wrong because they have been in this business for 45+ years. - The base assumption is that you are wrong, so no matter what you say, they will focus on one thing they don't agree with and then break down everything else you present to them because of that. - Empty promises- Accepted a salary at the start of the offer, and then lowered the salary within 4 months of working there because "it could no longer be justified" even though at the start, a salary increase within the first 6 months was promised. Relocation was promised after a couple months at the company, and that was never provided, either. - Outdated documentation and poor training. If you don't do all work perfectly, any mistake you have made will be brought up in your next performance review and then used as justification to cut your salary. There is no room to grow. You just have to be right 100% of the time or it's the end of the world. - No clear expectations were communicated in the performance reviews. Just "be better overall" with no clear instructions on what to work on or what to practice. When you ask "how can I improve?" "I don't know, but just be better." - Management style fosters fear and stress more than anything else. Your salary could be cut or you could be yelled at about a procedure that has been in place for years even before you got there because one day the CEO or vice president decided to look at that procedure and decided it needed to be changed. - Benefits are terrible. There is no 401k even offered until you are 1 year into the company, which was not explained prior to accepting the offer.

TaCito Direct Marketing Response

This person was a total mis-hire. He represented skills, education, abilities and proficiencies that never materialized. We should have released him in month 1, but we gave him the benefit of our doubts and gave him the opportunity to right-size. He was very disorganized, made several costly data mistakes, could not, and would not, follow directions, presented incomplete work, was not thorough, nor did he ever take initiative. He had no common sense, nor did he appraise his own work product. This was clearly his first job, but represented that he had work experience. He Never did clearly understand his job, his responsibilities, nor the business of what he was hired to do. He was never promised relocation. The 401 K waiting period is for all employees who hire on. His pay was reduced in lieu of releasing him, and it was his decision. He has no on site work experience and is unqualified to identify this company as an old fashioned company. His only experience was temp service. We kept him through the Holiday season from Thanksgiving through January, as a gift, and then let him go at the end of January. We have several employees who have been at TACITO 30-40 years, over 25 years, and longer.
