Jordan Lawrence Group Reviews

The other 3 negative reviews are all spot-on and consistent with what I saw. I have known people who have worked for this company as far back as 1994 and in the early 00's and the problems are still the same. The owners are sincere but really have no idea how to interact with their staff, to manage and motivate. They are puzzled about why their staff seems unmotivated and incompetent. The fact is the staff don't get enough direction, aren't empowered and in rare cases when they are, the result is never to the owners' satisfaction. The Steve Jobs aspect that one of the other reviewers mentioned about one of the owners is spot-on. Employees are confused when 180 degree pivots are the norm. Many, many good people end up getting fired, then go on to great careers elsewhere. I can't think of anything that a person would learn at this company, so it's better to just not work there.

* Despite being a software company (their only product/service is software with some reports on the software), they see their core competency as sales (which they are also terrible at) * One owner thinks he is Steve Jobs (subscribes to the "I know everything about everything" management style) * Owners make terrible business decisions (deciding they don't need an accountant with several million in revenue - resulted in clients not being billed for almost a year, outsourcing all software development to a contracting firm while laying off all internal employees - resulted in zero progress on development) * VP of Sales will take your commissions * Bonuses are promised but never delivered * Managers are incompetent. Two of them have been switched back and forth between positions every few years because all of their staff have refused to work under them. They are close family friends with the owners, so they will never be replaced. * No opportunity for advancement * Unless you go to all the company events (including family sleepovers at an owner's farmhouse and marathons/half-marthons), you are a second-class employee * There is a culture of fear and tattling. One owner brags that he has eyes everywhere in the company that report back to him * Unethical treatment of employees * If you are let go without cause, they will attempt to deny unemployment claims and benefits * HR is a joke. Their formal complaint procedure is a "suggestion box"
