Best Place I’ve Ever Worked…

Pros

There are so many things I love about Frontline that I know I'm going to miss a bunch but here goes... -We just had a HUGE equity payout when we changed ownership last year – it changed the lives of so many! This wasn’t just for the management team. All FT employees received $$$! I have peers who were able to go on nice vacations, pay off their student loan debt or invest in their kids’ future college educations!!! -Work-life balance - the best I've experienced in my career so far. Managers are understanding and flexible. -Beautiful office space with outdoor space. Counting down the winter days until I can have lunch outside by the quarry again. -On-site gym and cafeteria, low insurance costs (best I’ve had!), 401k match, tuition reimbursement – lots of great PERKS! -Personable, approachable management (including the execs!) -Amazing culture, supportive co-workers, strong camaraderie – the people are EVERYTHING at Frontline!

Cons

There's a small handful of people who work here who need to leave because they can’t move on from the past. Frontline was great a few years ago, and Frontline is still awesome now!!! Our culture is evolving, but if you can’t embrace a little change, please find your next adventure and allow the rest of us enjoy riding the Frontline wave!

Pros

The line workers who do all of the heavy lifting here are great people. Very talented and they care about their work. Office space is nice and the benefit package is above average.

Cons

What once was a very good place to work has done a complete 180 since Jan of 2017. They are trying to launch and sell a software Platform which is not yet ready for prime time but are not being transparent with that fact with their customers. This relationship oriented business has been turned into a transnational one where all they care about is when the next sale is coming in and how much it's worth. Very little-to-no sales support. Middle Management & Senior Leadership, especially on the sales side of the house, is not to be trusted. Mid-management is inexperienced when it comes to leading teams and Senior Leadership employs a bully mentality and micromanages everything, regardless of whether you are a tenured and successful rep or you have recently been hired. Many things are promised to you but very few are ever delivered upon and almost every single rep on the sales force is currently looking for a new job. The review from Feb 15th (below), was spot on. Do yourself a favor. If you are considering an opportunity in sales at Frontline, look someplace else.

Pros

People and mission. Some benefits.

Cons

SEI looks to be in deep trouble. With all good leaders leaving or left or gone andthe ones that were supposed to be gone and shown the exit are around and have been handed over the baton to run the show (what a disaster). There are no folks with people skills to run this place. These folks are top down folks never wanting to work with you. Just a handful of good people left across SEI, you can count them on one hand. Meetings are for orders given, not for collaboration. They have completely ignored the basic rules of leadership and are running a slave shop.I agree with the previous poster here. There is so much bias - race, color, ethnicity for promotions (look at all the promotions and it will say it out loud) and any good will. Only folks who kiss/ed up are moving anywhere. Folks are being told to change career paths, without any discussions. All these years they have learned and excelled in their respective fields, thrown away and are put on new systems. These seasoned folks are now at the level of kindergarten learning new stuff. It is so visible on the partiality and changes being done, it baffles how the Executive management does not see this problem at all (well the original ones who knew the truth do not exist anymore). It is all smoke an mirrors. If you speak up you are surely in the bottom or out the door citing poor performance with a barrage of excuses. Zero trust is putting this place down so fast. Senior leaders, they have been at this for a long time and have gotten away with it. Feel bad for the employees who are in direct fire as they will be the next to go. Just a few strands holding everything together. This post is a collaborative of a few folks directly impacted.
