Microdyne Outsourcing Reviews

Where to start? Started out as Envisionet, with a promise of tech contracts, which I was a part of .. for a month or so. Then, we got locked out of the building with sign on the door stating "Go read your email". Eventually, got on with MSN support, then Dell. The pain ended in March 2003 when Microdyne moved to Orono to a "Purpose built Call-Center". That of course didn't stop them months later from attempting to set up another contact center in a "purpose built office building" in Portland, Maine. Also, another in a "purpose built warehouse" in Jacksonville, Florida. The latter went bust when the building owner was offered a deal for the entire building (the call center was only using a portion of the building and the lease was up for renewal). The owner first offered the same deal to Microdyne, who decided to just lay off the 500 plus employees and crawl back to headquarters. (All of this was acquired after my layoff, college, and re-employment in the IT field). Congratulations, Envisionet/Microdyne, you are examples of where not to work!

Where do I start? In my limited time with the company, I encountered higher-ups who were clearly "higher up" if you catch my meaning. Managers will commonly tell you to do the complete opposite of what another manager has told you. Many of them lack knowledge in the systems required to perform our job. Much is expected of you, even in your first month there.
