WorkflowOne Reviews

Pros

Currently there are many opportunities

Cons

There seems to be a lack of communication

Advice to Senior Management

Engage employees

Pros

Vacation time
Autonomous work enviroment for the most part
Mgmt doesn't micro manage
Can work from home when needed (for some)
You prioritize and manage your workload

Cons

Middle mgrs conduct employee reviews, but they do not have enough knowledge to do so (because they are not involved in your daily activities, may sound strange, but that's the case)
Limited room for advancement.
Recently came out with a new career path. If you're already at the top of that chart, then what?
No bonus, salary increase, or 401K match in about 3 years.

Advice to Senior Management

Understanding that it is hard times, but that's the case for all of us. Show your employees you value them with some type of financial compensation.

Pros

Flexible schedule and great RSM's.

Cons

Inability to invest in the future.

Advice to Senior Management

Kick out Storm Consulting.

Pros

There are plenty of opportunities to expand your skill set. They are very flexible and willing to work with a variety of different situations.

Cons

Due to the recent financial situation of the company, raises have been few and far between. Rather then getting rewarded, or even thanked, for any extra effort in these trying times, generally you will just get more work.

Advice to Senior Management

While that lack of raises and promotions in these financially stressful times is somewhat understandable, there comes a point when you need to give you employees something and quit taking away. There are a lot of employees that have stuck with this company throughout these tough times, but if the company does not do something about retaining these employees they will give up on the company too.

Pros

Great people, highly dedicated and loyal.

Cons

Working between groups sometimes difficult.
Employees under-paid and under-appreciated.

Advice to Senior Management

Customer service and retention starts with happy employees

Pros

WorkflowOne is an Industry leader, with significant brand recognition and at the time a great local staff. The customer service crew was outstanding and the abilty to outsource work as necessary was a plus.

Cons

The transition to moving accounting to corporate headquarters was trying. Local sales management assistance would have been helpful. Capex investment in our local facilty would have also been helpful.

Pros

Newer facility/Covered and free parking
Flexible per employees personal time

Cons

Middle Management lacking direction and professionalism required to retain quality employees
Company in bankruptcy

Pros

Learned how to broker after coming from a large print corporation. Broke into new markets based on Wkflone purchasing promotional Companies.

Cons

Poor commissions due to company debt. Lack of strong production support when one sales large complicated projects

Advice to Senior Management

Throw some of the "cash" down to the reps in the foxholes.

Pros

Before the Ownership Change, I found the department I worked in very respectful of Work-Life Balance. And also very flexible when it came to working on-site, working virtual, etc. Those are both big Plus's in my book. I also took advantage of the on-site gym. Its truly very very small but at least it gave me the opportunity to take a 45 min treadmill break every day! And finally, the Riverscape location is beautiful!!

Cons

Lack of Creative Leadership!
Lack of infrastructure!
Lack of Communication!
Lack of Process and Planning!
Lack of Clear Direction!
And the company overall has a lack of truly respecting and valuing their employees!!

Advice to Senior Management

Treat your employees the way you want to be treated. And watch your back because the New Owners are going to cut many more people before they are done!

Pros

The clients are fabulous to work with. Many of the "worker-bees" are super also. You can advance if you look to work in Dayton.

Cons

Management can be very challenging when it comes to listening to the field for what is really happening in the industry. Dayton location is probably a downfall.

Advice to Senior Management

Listen to your field team. They know what is happening. Lean on the people that are making a difference in the company, not the people who are at corporate and don't see the day to day in the field.
