Employees are like family

Cons – No paid lunch (9 hour day, 8 hours paid)
Vacation time accrued instead of given all at once
Excessive quality assurance requirements
Strict dress code (no cargo pants, no tennis shoes or Crocs, no t-shirts except for sport/spirit days)
Upper management out of touch with what the front line employees & supervisors go through in order to do their jobs and maintain QA standards
Many teams understaffed, therefore high stress levels in most client services positions
Lack of flexibility with schedule in order to complete school requirements, internships, etc. (Almost zero flexibility. Can take half-hour lunch to leave half-hour early with approval from manager. No other exceptions or allowances).
"Like it or leave it" mentality in highest levels of upper management

Advice to Senior Management – Involve front-line employees in decision-making, whether related to job duties, manual updates, procedural changes or policies.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Pros – On-site cafe, workout facility, close to home. Was able to assist me with making a career change after working there.

Cons – Company was purchased last January. Since this purchase, quite a few C-level people were let go - including the President/CEO, several supervisors dismissed, and overall morale has declined. With all the changes, several management/directors have been shifted around and placed into positions of supervision where they are failing miserably. Common practice is to play very blatant favoritism, take credit for work done by someone else and to turn heads when it comes to specific Ohio laws with licenses. Understand the price of doing business, but missing some major problems with directors, managers, and supervisors.

Advice to Senior Management – It is costly to continually lose employees - financially and moral-wise. Recommend remembering and identifying what makes a good company to the employees, as they are the ones that support the business and carry your name out into the public. Hire people in positions of management that have a clue what it means to make a team cohesive.

Pros – fliexible schedule - you decide your hours and your schedule. bosses let you do your own thing as long as you show results. most days you can end early and go home and do your paperwork and make additional phone calls. flexibility is wonderful.

Cons – lack of training - expect you know all of your products with minimal training and an overworked sales support staff. if given more training or if there was emphasis put on certain products i think there is more room for success. Better health benefits and retirement benefits would also be much appreciated - i had to do all of my retirement savings through my own personal advisor since there was no 401k options available.

Advice to Senior Management – better in field training

I worked at Progressive Medical (ohio)

Pros – The company cafeteria which is locaaed on site, facilitates lunch and break time. Associates co-workers are friendly and willing to learn and help.

Cons – There is a lot of Management positions, however despite all of this, there is a lack of true Leadership. There used to be a few that cared about the associates and teams, which sadly are no longer with the company. Our loss.

Advice to Senior Management – Listen to employees feedback.
