Pros

Not too much to report here. I worked with some really great, hard-working people there. Operations was able to do a lot with so very little in the way of IT and management support. Really opened my eyes to what kind of organization I want to be a part of.

Cons

Where to start? Top down culture of fear and intimidation. "You're lucky to have your job" is something I can clearly recall hearing a few times. Management will throw you one of their projects that they slept on right before the deadline and then have you written up for not completing it on time. Management is selected not by their merit, but how long they have been there. Forget about promotions, as the entrenched, inept, management has mastered the art of passing the buck to keep you where you are. Some of the laziest and most grossly negligent people I have ever worked for. Company is always taking huge losses, so forget the bonus or raise.

Hostile toward innovation.

Pros

There has been a lot of financial success here in recent years. The company was acquired by a very large, well-resourced organization. Pay is good. Bonuses are going around. Projects are being funded.

Cons

There is a culture of arrogance advancing downward from leadership that is chilling operational agility. The result is that, increasingly, we are hiring and retaining highly paid, experienced professionals to turn the screws (to serve entry-level functions) and leaders to guide every turn (to be micromanagers). As so many companies do, Gexa has become fat and satisfied with itself.

Pros

-The hours are pretty good, most people don't stay past 5, regardless of whether they have finished their work or not. The few people who do stay past 5 are trying to finish everyone else's work so that they won't be behind in the future. -They try to have fun outings every now and then, in almost half a year of working here, we went laser tagging once, but that's about it. - It's not that demanding- you just show up, punch your clock, do your processes, and leave.

Cons

- Not much to moving up; you pay your dues, and move up according to how long you've been here. -Not much time to try out other departments, so if you get hired in one department, you're stuck there. -Very similar work every day; - Not much opportunity to grow as a person - Not much money allocated for personal development; including extra schooling.
