Great - Technician CityLift Employee Review

Good team that was assembled

Will miss everyone there and the great culture

Lots of kind, hardworking people work here. Fast growing industry that is fun to tell people about.

Projects that are mis-sold with no way they would ever be profitable get blamed on the project manager. The leadership and sales team do not understand construction so you constantly inherit crap and get blamed for low margins while the sales guy still gets his commission. Sales people are treated with total priority until they have a bad quarter. Then they are more or less shunned, territory taken away, and/or suddenly fired. Most of it boils down to management that doesn't understand what it takes to execute. On top of that you are dealing with a Chinese designed and manufactured product that shows up with missing parts and lots of errors. Quality appears to be getting better, but the frustration has caused fairly high turnover for a small company. Terrible cash flow and consistently losing money on projects and late on payments. Oh, and you get blamed for not being able to meet schedule when they didn't have enough money to order material! This is improving with the recent investment, but the path to profitability is unclear.
