Pros

My non-management coworkers were talented, competent, honest, and candid. Building relationships here was easy, but management/gatekeepers will make your experience more difficult than it needs to be.

Cons

Dishonesty from management is devastating to morale. CEO & HR will lie about the financial health of the company and lay-off employees within weeks of promising raises. They will recruit people from other states, or from companies they’ve spent nearly a decade at, only to lay-off half the staff a few months later. Even when working there, managers have trust and control issues. They set up office surveillance for remote listening, screen recording software, require detailed minutes of your daily activities, read your emails/messages, and will eavesdrop. There are less than 15 people, it’s unnecessary overkill. There is no psychological safety here. And to think they profess a “transparent” culture. It’s a facade and they will lie to you. Clients don’t get much better treatment. This place is a revolving door of talent & clients, the attrition rate speaks is abysmal.

Thank you for your feedback. Management will be more aware of sharing exactly what is going on – even if puts one employee or a department in a bad light. The communication to the team prior to layoffs was based upon the belief and hope of the ‘promised sales’ closing. Sales is the lifeblood of any company. In the future, management will make sure that an ineffective sales person is let go earlier to preserve the rest of the company. Communicating positive outcomes as to not ruin everyone’s holiday was not the correct thing to do and management is aware and apologetic. As for your accusations: We do not spy on our employees. The camera is for alarm surveillance and does not stream or pick up audio. We don’t read emails or messages and we definitely don’t have screen recording software. These are false accusations. Trust is earned. The owner gave his trust to his salesperson and in turn there were no sales for 4 months. He believed what he was told and therefore did not layoff or cut benefits as most companies would have had to do. ‘…require detailed minutes of your daily activities…’ As a salesperson, the use of CRM to keep track of communication with leads, notes of conversations, etc. is standard practice. For billable employees, the use of software to log hours is also standard practice. It is on an honor system, no one is forced to use a timer that actually tracks every daily activity. We are truly sorry that you felt you had to leave such a review. We are truly sorry we had to lay employees off. But an employee that is fired for nonperformance, that is normal business practice.

Pros

There really weren’t any pros with this company which is really hard for me to say.

Cons

There was no training tools and nothing to go on. I wasn’t trusted despite never causing concern. Aggression was common and they would say one thing to your face and another to their boss.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We appreciate and value your input. We're sorry about your experience while working at atmosol. Sales training has been about the company and services, not about how to sell. We have been and are working on better policies and processes for salespeople.
