Pros

Good quality work they were doing. Lots of training opportunities including getting to travel abroad to meet clients etc

Cons

Unfortunately during my probationary period they decided to tell me I wouldn’t be passing. Prior to them telling me this I had a review meeting a couple of weeks earlier where no negative feedback was given or areas of development to work on. I took it very personally at first and this really affected my Mental health. Later on in the same week I found out they had made people redundant as the company recently got taken over so this set off some alarm bells. They also did not fill in my position which I found even more odd. My end impression was they said I wasn’t passing so they didn’t have to pay someone new redundancy money. Even if this wasn’t the case they made no attempt to help me improve what they thought were issues - not very supportive at all.

Pros

-Benefits are ok. Not -It's nice to know you are doing a job that helps people. -The work has a cool factor to it

Cons

-This is a small company (~50 employees). I worked in the Newburgh office (<20 employees). Even with the few amount of people, we were flying blind. The inter-company, inter-departmental communication was terrible. -No incentives. No upward movement, wages do not reflect amount of skill needed for job, and raises are non existent. $15/hr does not cut it. -Employees are veiwed as expendables rather then investments. -Rampant micromanagement, manipulation, bullying, nepotism and emotionally abusive management which facilitates a stress filled, highly dysfunctional work environment. -HR ignores complaints and does not respect confidentiality. -Mandatory overtime without notice. -Very high turn over rate In my 5+ years ~20 Employees were hired and left (most due to the stress/ bullying from management) the Newburgh office. This does not include the cleaning house layoffs in the Ohio and UK. Summery: Imagine having your dream job where you get to work with all your friends doing something really interesting that helps people who need it. Now imagine this dream job is being run by the worst high school bully, pushing you to the edge every day. To the point where you having nervous breakdowns on the way to work. At some point the stress out weighs all the positives and you leave. Years later, you still have nightmares about the place. So much so, that after one of the stressful dreams you go on-line, find glassdoor and write a review about what you experienced. It's like that.
