Perks Reviews

Social club, that fellow staff members below partner

Review Title (continued): Best employer I had worked for to date, great coworkers, relaxed environment. But there were a couple of very serious employment/compensation/benefits related mistakes Perks made (at my expense) that should have been resolved by the company ASAP but instead I was told "sorry man, don't know what to tell you". I had to pay (in personal income lost) a few times as a consequence for mistakes Perks made. That sort of dumping responsibility for company mistakes onto your employees must not only be stopped but turned around 180degress if Perks is to truly deserve their employee-centric image. The image is an illusion if, when push comes to shove, a company will screw over its employees by failing to honor commitments simply because it can get away with it. So...A few big changes in the way Perks treats and interacts with their employees, and some changes in how they resolve certain problems or handle employee course correction and especially mistakes in employee compensation/benefit information (big problems for sure, but only in a few particular/narrow types of situations- for the most part Perks employees have it very good). A few major corrections and Perks would really be on it's way to the next level, or at least be an excellent example to other businesses. More on addressing the problem areas to follow. Pros: Relaxed environment, very casual dress, lots of collaboration, very talented and committed team, multiple fun team building days per year (field day, horse races, bowling, etc.) Company very respectful of after hours/personal/family time (expects 35-40hrs per week the majority of the time with the rare all nighter, maybe once a year, when absolutely necessary). Very friendly work environment with great coworkers willing to work together to get things done. Most people would happily pitch in to help others outside of their jobs responsibilities as needed. Probably the best group of people I've ever worked with.
