LAC Group Benefits FAQ

Pros

Leadership actively seeks new ways to support employees. The pay and benefits are fair, and everyone up to the CEO makes themselves available for questions and concerns.

Cons

It's contract work, so it's not as stable or dependable as a permanent position.

Pros

Decent pay. Management communicates well and shows relative transparency. Pleasant general atmosphere. Supervisors and recruiters make efforts to find adequate contracts for their contractors and to help with any issues.

Cons

Contractors do not get benefits such as health insurance, sick days or PTO. There can be gaps between two contracts.

Pros

Offers a small stipend for continuing education.

Cons

Upper management is out of touch with the reality of the company. Recently stated they wanted LAC Group to become a "destination workplace" but as long as they are 100% client-focused, at the expense of their employees, they will never meet that goal. Employees are considered disposable.

Advice to Management

Require management training for middle and lower management. Take a more active role in engaging with employees at all levels.

Pros

Great co-workers in fantastic institutions

Cons

LAC previously had a great array of health insurance options, which have been cut this month to one plan range at one company, featuring higher deductibles and out of pocket limits than previous options. This on top of the fact that employees 401k match was "suspended" last year and has not yet been awarded or confirmed for this year.....benefits are disappearing at an alarming rate.

Pros

Large company so other opportunities to switch jobs within the company. Many employees can WFH.

Cons

Low pay, especially for newer employees. They used to offer competitive pay, but no longer. Terrible PTO benefits as time is accrued, instead of front-loaded like most firms do. 15 days PTO which is a joke. And their PTO tracking system is always behind and has issues. Because they are based in CA, the best health benefits/plans are offered to CA employees. No real company culture as the majority of employees are remote. Lack of leadership is a big issue. I'd take the Glassdoor reviews with a grain of salt....two 5 star positive reviews on the same day?

Advice to Management

Publish a company org chart and share it with the entire company and put on the website. Employees have absolutely no clue who is in leadership, which is an issue when there are massive lay-offs. Don't promote from within without providing management training as most of the managers are clueless and have absolutely NO management experience. If there is a job opening, PUBLISH it so that it is open to all eligible employees to apply. Take employee suggestions seriously as those are the people having to do actual client work. If you have a WFH employee, pay them extra as there is ZERO to little overhead for the company.
