Pros

Air conditioned work environment. Some friendly employees. Nice cushioned chairs. Office parties for random reasons. I have nothing else to write but it says I need 20 words.

Cons

Low pay, lots of people quitting, no structure, yelling, no idea what they want, no clear direction for employees or the company, some people have tons of work others none, internet is horrible

Thank you for your comments. Running a business isn't the easiest challenge in today's world. I will address some of the items mentioned. 1. Yes, we are aware the Internet isn't the best. We have a new service being installed any day now. Unfortunately, due to our somewhat rural location, we were promised by Comcast and Centurylink to have fast service, however, when it came to installation date, they didn't deliver. We have a new service from an outfit in Hardee County that we are excited about. 2. Regarding the plan, we most definitely have a plan. The way the world works today is that our cheese is being moved constantly. Sometimes plans need to change due to the fact of pure lack of proper resources. 3. Clear direction is one area that I am well aware of that needed to be improved. With the addition of four great women running consulting, administration, operations, and finance...direction is becoming more and more clear. One thing I do have to disagree with this reviewer is that in August, I don't believe our AC is the best. The other 11 months, works perfectly, in the heat of August, has a hard time keeping up.

Pros

Working from home is awesome.

Cons

So, so many. For one I didn't get paid for my last two weeks of work at Ulistic, which is downright unethical. However since I was getting paid through Paypal and never signed a contract, Stuart and company held all the cards. If you want a boss that drops f-bombs and yells at his staff whenever they don't meet the crazy deadlines that he's too stupid to realize just physically can't be met, then this is the perfect company for you. The communication is absolutely abysmal. It's mayhem working for the company. I could write more but to be completely honest it's stressing me out even thinking about it.

There are always two sides to every story. True, during this phase of this team member's 1099 participation with Ulistic timelines where tight and company growth was very fast paced. We have taken on many new programs and initiatives and everyone was trying extremely hard to keep up. This particular example was very unique. In this example, this team member was permitted to travel from coast to coast by car while being able to work on his or her tasks. The stress of driving many hours during the day and/or being in a remote location was adding the stress of the day-to-day work. Perhaps this fuel the thoughts of not being able to meet deadlines. Ulistic is not innocent in the challenges we have face during this time which ran from approximately Jan 2016 to August 2016. We have taken huge steps to improve how we operate such as starting to move positions into our main office in Sebring, FL to assist in improving communications and workloads. When staff work remotely, we have found that the additional stresses of the job, combined with the challenges of being virtual...are sometimes not a winning formula. It is unfortunate this situation happened and we regret our role in it.

Poor communication and delegation, political and social nightmare.

Pros

The job in itself is a challenging and rewarding one. Co-workers are knowledgeable for the most part, helpful, and friendly.

Cons

Unfortunately, the owner of this company has severe anger issues. He often would go off on employees and cuss and scream at them for mistakes that he himself had made, but refused to take responsibility for. He often sent out mass emails to all staff belittling other staff members, saying blatantly sexist or bigoted things, and gossiping about other staff. They will treat you well for a little bit, but will end up cutting you loose for no reason. In the time that I worked there, I saw a dozen or so loyal and talented team members cut for no reason at all. Essentially when working here, you will be set up for failure. You will be degraded and humiliated, you will be blamed for things that have nothing to do with you, and the owner himself will throw you under the bus to make himself look good to his clients. This, in fact, does the opposite, as clients are turned off by the narcissistic attitude that radiates from Stuart. They are severely understaffed, and refuse to hire more team members, or at least team members that will be kept on for a long period of time. Stuart's team is afraid of him, and although I loved working at Ulistic for the job, team members, and wonderful clients, I came to work every day scared and on edge waiting for the next tantrum. I know that others felt the same way. You never could be sure when you would be targetted. It saddens me to write this review. I hope it will be taken for what it is, and management will delegate to other leaders to run the company, instead of taking on everything themselves.

It is very unfortunate that this review has been written. Allow we cannot tell exactly which former employee wrote this review all we do is address it in general terms. Ulistic is a very flexible organization and at this time of our company history, we were all virtual employees which made it very difficult to work in many cases. Emotions ran high, sometimes tempers were a bit out of control but this was generated at situations versus individuals. On numerous times the leadership of the company was told they were "The Moms and Dads at work" and this is something we strived extremely hard to achieve. We permitted employees to take the time to be with their children when they are sick, makeup work time later and also offers a tremendous amount of flexibility. We are troubled by the staff being the fearful message. We have numerous team members who have been with the company for many years, cornerstones of our development and true representatives of our brand to our clients. Clients have never told us about "narcissistic attitude" that comes from our CEO. Many people come to Ulistic to work with our CEO because of his tenure and history in the managed IT services community. During the tenure of this particular individual's employment (sorry, we don't know exactly who it is...but we have an idea)...growth was very fast paced and this growth added numerous stressors. We are not innocent in this situation and we admit, many things can be handled differently. Since this date, Ulistic has opened a new 7000 sq foot office in Sebring, FL, hired numerous account managers and assistants. We have taken the "family" approach to a new level. We still permit employees to work virtually when required, take the time to look after their loved ones...however, at the end of the day...we have clients to take care of and objectives to be met.
