Pros

The finance group pays on time.

Cons

The people at Maine Pointe will lure you in with talk of opportunity and visibility because it is a small company. Talk to people who have worked there to get the truth. There is no long range planning, and no respect for people. It is all about making money. They think nothing of making thoughtless hiring decisions and then firing people almost immediately if they are perceived as not doing the job, but they had no training, support or help to be successful, and get no notice at all. These are not losers who get fired. They are people who have been very successful at other companies. They preach their values which are all talk and no walk. Starting at the leadership, they show no respect for their people and think nothing of giving you a big smile and in the next minute backstabbing you to your teammates and throwing you under the bus, not to mention the numerous inappropriate comments made on people's backgrounds. The way people talk to each other is unbelievable. Yelling, insults and rude comments are the norm in meetings. Giving feedback to HR and management does not make a difference. They will not make the tough decisions when they need to. The turnover tells the story. They have had numerous and constant changes in leadership in a very short timeframe. The turnover at all levels is rampant as well. Talk to people who have worked there to get the truth. You will be hard pressed to find someone who left on good terms, and has good things to say.

We appreciate your opinion. However, We would expect these sort of concerns would be brought up in a more formal manner with HR - it's clear you chose a different path which is unfortunate. We conduct exit interviews in the majority of cases. It's part of continuously improving. Never do we hear that yelling, insults and rude comments are the norm. With the senior model that Maine Pointe has, you'll typically find highly experience professionals having passionate debates. We're sorry you're unaware of the "20/20 Vision" which the leadership put forth at the last All Hands Meeting in November of 2015. Perhaps we need to do a better job of communicating the long range planning which you thought was non-existent. Hiring and firing decisions are taken seriously by the leadership - multiple people are always involved and they take a substantial amount of time to come to an agreement. All MP resources have a significant impact, especially given we're a mid-sized business, so if someone is not producing results or living by the MP values, they will quickly be exposed and handled appropriately. We also encourage candidates to speak with at least three people who work here for their unique perspectives. Its unfortunate to your experience was not as positive as so many others.

Inconsistencies in Approach

Pros

Company has a fairly good approach to addressing a program, particularly with Private Equity. There are formats to review and utilize, only if upper management follows the approach and not change it for every engagement.

Cons

Each project is approached differently from a framework standpoint. Given each project is different, the approach is often dependent on the individual leading the project. The Leader of the field does not manage to a constant program, thus not always optimizing the clients spend. Various methods in preparing for the engagement often have incorrect assumptions for the operations team to manage to. Examples are numerous.

Thanks very much for the review. Each client challenge has to be addressed given the unique factors facing that business. Maine Pointe has pride in the ability to solve various, complex challenges across the supply chain. With that said, can MP drive better consistency with in our engagement approach? Of course! We would urge you to share those ideas with the Practice Leaders.

Pros

We are paid on a timely basis salary and expenses. Assignments for the most part are interesting and challenging. Company seems to be growing.

Cons

People are not treated as valuable assets. Management treats people with disrespect by belittling people and sending demeaning emails. As a small company, surely we can act professionally.

Hello and thank you for the feedback. We're glad to hear the assignments are interesting and challenging. People should be treated with respect at all levels - we agree. If you ever run across a situation where you believe that is not happening, please be sure to let HR know so the behavior can be corrected.
