Downward Spiral - Product Manager ARI Network Services Employee Review

ARI was bought a few years ago by a private equity firm who's only goal is to squeeze every last drop out of their employees before firing them due to "budget cuts" AKA corporate greed. Used to be a great place to work, now morale is down the toilet. No HR team. People are treated like slaves and expected to train their replacements in India, Mexico and Belize. Good American jobs replaced by cheap labor/outsourcing. Management will lie to your face about your job security today and let you go tomorrow. Don't expect this place to be around in more than a few years, the management team is moving to Portland and the rest is retiring. I wish I could say they treat their customers better, but they don't. They lock them into auto-renewing contracts which increase in price yearly, with no notice on how to cancel. The sales team is forced to lie to customers and promise them the world/manipulate them, and when the customer figures it out and tries to cancel, they refuse and will default good, honest small businesses and send them to collection agencies. If I had to describe ARI in one word it would be slimy. If I had to sum up the culture – soulless.
