Beeline Reviews

Pros

Loved the ping pong, fuzz ball, and occasional movies. As an employee, you could take a break to play at the office. Family emergencies and personal responsibilities were respected but you must compensate the hours later. While you are under the radar (and content where you are), you will be left alone. As an outsider, a non-member of the inner circle, you might get an inflationary raise and access to a video sight such as Plural Sight. This is considered formal "training". Once in a while, everyone gets invited to a drink and a meal which is nice. If your ideas makes the company millions, you might get a (cheap) gadget, made in China, as a token of appreciation. Something is better than nothing. Great teammates. With exception of some bully that might jump from team to team, all of them were great co-workers.

Cons

Members of the inner circle receive full protection and benefits from the company while having zero responsibilities from their actions. They hug information, lie, manipulate and bully anyone who they dislike. Managers collaborate in the bullying due fear of becoming victims themselves. If you decide to stand up against the abuse, managers (and HR) will make your life miserable until quits or gets fired. They will collect any information they can in hopes to kick you out. As an outsider of the inner circle, you'll never get a raise, prospects, real training or benefits; however, you're expected to be a "hero" and sacrifice yourself without complains. Those above you'll take credit for your hard work plus ideas unless they end in failure. Any promises from your manager(s) will not be granted and will remain in the limbo. One technique commonly used by managers is to dig dirt from your you and your co-workers. For example, lets say you had a miscommunication (not a fight), which later you clarified, no big deal. When you manager find out, he or she will use that as an excuse to not fulfill the promise(s). The issue will be inflated and make into a huge deal. So, be careful what you say and make sure your teammates are careful too. Prior ending a project, another project will show up as an emergency. Therefore, everyone will end working extra hours trying to finish the current project and start the new project. As always, the promise would be that they would stop doing that since it was burning us out. When we succeed on doing a great job, we would be rewarded with... more work. All rumors about the future of the company are true. If a rumor is denied, at the "All Hands" meeting, it'll become true. Don't let them fool you. Management are pathological liars. Minorities be aware: there is no pay equality nor benefits equality. You are a second class citizen. Are you a foreign on a work visa? They'll squeeze you until you are an empty shell of your former self then kick you out (visas and green cards only for those at the inner circle). Bad reviews trigger witch hunts plus a formal request to employees to leave positive reviews to counter. Even in this year, 2019, I reach to my old co-workers (those that still remain) and they share that some are trying to change this but there is no enough momentum. Too much toxic in the environment.

Pros

Autonomy to do your job and the support of the entire organization.

Cons

Salary is to be desired.

Pros

Work from home when you need to and most everyone at the company is friendly... but that’s where the good ends

Cons

Bad business decisions got Beeline into a bind and now most of the quality people are gone, especially in client services. They focus so much on sales and the bottom line that the upper management forgets that it is the employees that take care of the customers. The last few years were complete turmoil and folks from all over the company were either let go, run off, or told “things will get better” and those that stayed did 3 people’s job with no appreciation or compensation. If you are thinking of working here, be willing to be told “work life balance” and then work 50-60 hours per week.

Pros

Salary, Flexibility(depending on Manager), Benefits, People, People, People, People!!! Some of the best individuals I have ever worked with. Very professional and task oriented.

Cons

Sometimes Teams could work in a silo, but it was easy to break down those barriers. Sales sometimes could oversell solutions, but who knows what was actually said? I only knew what was signed :-) The biggest stress was due to the uncertainty of the direction of the company. Pretty volatile to say the least. Hold on for the roller coaster ride.

Pros

- schedule flexibility - encourage and sponsor trainings/certifications - work with very intelligent people - work life balance: they care about your health, your time, and your family - easy going atmosphere

Cons

- employee goals and career path: you need to completely advocate for yourself and what you want - no 401k match
