Pros

Slavic is a great place to work, but facing a handful of growing pains. The previous COO left in December and over the past 5 months a handful of positive changes have occured which include: casual attire (yes, we can wear jeans every single day!), a work from home - remote policy, and an updated organizational structure which provides employees a path to promotion along with professional/personal growth. The Slavic team is a family; everyone is kind and caring. The benefits, pay and 401k match are generous! I feel very lucky to work for this company and I know the future for Slavic is very bright.

Cons

The average manager has been at Slavic for 15+ years which is the reason for the old, inefficient processes. Accountability on the executive, management and employee level are lacking.

Pros

The training was well organized.

Cons

If you value your sanity PLEASE do not work here. They will absolutely accuse you of things you are not doing when their phone systems are terrible. I was a victim to this. I have had known issues with their ring central systems and I was blamed for avoiding phone calls. Never felt so targeted by a job ever. I.T Department had seen the issue live and documented it and I was still blamed by upper management for their faulty systems. Their security procedures that verify participants are inaccurate and lengthy which makes participants angry. (rightfully) when calling in, and participants have already verified their personal information they are asked additional questions that don’t pertain to them and if they get those questions wrong we cannot take the call. If you drop a call, be prepared to get accused of call avoidance! Adherence procedures are terrible. You have to be clocked in on the minute to the minute and if you aren’t you are docked on your adherence. You will have meetings twice a month where they review calls with you on camera and critique every little thing you say. I was docked for clearing my throat very quietly and saying excuse me. Extremely high pressured job. They will watch your every move. I quit this job and ever since my anxiety level has decreased majorly. Was the best move for my health. Their fees for participants are absolutely awful and the distribution process is an absolute nightmare leading phone calls to be hostel between you and the participants. Participants hardly ever get their distribution in a timely manner. I am going through this now with my own distribution.

Bullying is allowed

Pros

Good training and incentives for personal growth. The salary and benefits are competitive. Most of the people are kind and professional.

Cons

The company allows bullying. One person in particular was notorious for saying very mean and demeaning things to certain individuals. Her behavior was very strange however because she was super sweet to some people and a complete witch to others. It was so bad that many people there refused to even deal with her directly. I had to work with this individual as she was responsible for training me since the person previously in my position decided to leave after only a few months. Unfortunately I was on her bad side since day 1 and after complaints to management I was basically told that I'd have to learn to deal with it like everyone else. Thankfully a position in another department opened up shortly after and I was moved. The difference was like night and day as everyone treated each other kindly and with respect and they all helped each other and worked great as a team.

This is definitely not the experience we wanted you to have during your time here at Slavic401k. Thank you for bringing your frustrations to our attention. As an emerging organization looking to evolve the trajectory of retirement savings, we strive to provide a supportive environment for each of our team members to thrive in and encourage reaching out to our new HR department for support and advice if they witness unprofessional workplace behavior taking place. We understand that working in a hyper-growth environment can sometimes present challenges, so we’re always looking for ways to improve and appreciate your feedback.
