Envysion, Inc. Reviews

Pros

Envysion is a wonderful, warm place to work. The people here are kind, understanding and intelligent. I love coming to work, and the free food and beer doesn't hurt. ;) I've been working for over 20 years and have been at over 5 companies in the area in that time. Envysion is right there at the top.

Cons

Pets are not allowed, unless they're service pets.

Pros

When they hire good people, they really do hire good people.

Cons

Leadership is a mess. They have hit rock bottom. H They treat their people poorly and just did a lot of lay-offs. It’s time for then to realize they either aren’t untiling the leadership they should and keep empowering the leadership they shouldn’t.

Pros

Relaxed, casual environment. Free to be yourself. Wonderful benefits. Lots of paid holidays off.

Cons

Horrible communication all around. Especially between different departments. So much is going on and no one is on the same page and it causes a lot of chaos and stress. Also, not much accountability here. People can be lazy and perform poorly and no one corrects that and then you have to correct their mistakes for them. Everything here is so chaotic and everyone is overworked so many important things slip through the cracks. Most people don't last here longer than a year. There is also very little room for growth.

Pros

Welcoming and laid-back atmosphere Individual input or suggestions are taken into consideration Flexible scheduling when applicable Opportunities for advancement or movement within the company when possible Employees are valued, and the benefits are phenomenal.

Cons

Turnover can be a problem, especially in the support departments. Interdepartmental communication needs improvement. "Too many cooks in the kitchen" at times (or "too many hands in the cookie jar") Work delegation from other departments is not uncommon. Training could be better but it has come a long way over the past year. Daily-use tools (primarily CRM) need to be improved or changed (though this has been acknowledged by Senior Management, it seems to be long overdue)

Pros

A lot has changed at Envysion over the last couple of years, what I can say is there are some really great people that want to be here and work hard. There is an opportunity to move the company in the right direction.

Cons

The focus is largely on the bottom line. There has been a fair amount of turnover because there hasn't been much focus on employee experience and making sure things are being done right.

Pros

Some of the people were cool to work with

Cons

Terrible executive management. High Turnover rates. So many lies and lack of motivation.

Pros

There are some people who genuinely care about the success of the company. They care how others perceive the quality of their work, and they work hard to support their colleagues. But these people are in short supply now, and it’s getting worse (fast).

Cons

The people who can turn the company around are either no longer there, or are so deflated that just the thought of the undertaking seems impossible. Executive (so called) “leadership” is in a state of chronic cognitive dissonance and they make working painful for everyone across all functions. They are unapologetic gatekeepers who guard information as a source of power. They lack personal accountability and are masters at shifting blame to others. They take credit for other’s people work, but will be the first to throw someone under the bus to release their liability. Many people (especially some of the executives) work too remotely…it makes it hard to get anything done. It’s a culture of constant meetings. Unfortunately, it’s rare for any plans of action to come out of these meetings. This leads to a significant lack of accountability (another chronic problem). I don’t see this changing.

Pros

The people on my team were awesome to work with.

Cons

I'd like to start by saying that I turned down a separation agreement in order to be able to write this review. Hush money to keep people from writing negative reviews. It even specifically calls out Glassdoor. I turned down real dollars in order to be able to write this review and inform any potential employees of what Envysion is willing to do to its employees. I was laid off from Envysion. That in and of itself can be expected, but I was laid off 3 weeks before I was due to have a child. Envysion knew this. I made my FMLA protected leave request months in advance. I even followed up with the new HR team since the entire old HR team quit. When laid off from Envysion, health benefits end at the end of the month you are terminated. My child was due 5 days after my benefits ended. Fortunately there is COBRA. Unfortunately, COBRA takes 6-8 weeks to take effect. It is retroactive, but in the meantime I now have an atrocious hospital bill, prescriptions are not being filled because they don't think I have insurance, I have doctor's appointments for my newborn that I am now having to pay for in full up front because it shows I don't have insurance. Thousands upon thousands of dollars needing to be spent out of pocket to ensure the latest addition to my family stays healthy. All this in addition to the mortgage, utilities, and food that needs to be put on the table. This is what Envysion is willing to do to one of its employees. My personal opinion is that if they are willing to do what they did to me, they genuinely do not care about any employee. Despite the claims of work life balance, "culture", and saying they care about employees because they have a beer fridge, their actions show quite clearly that is not the case. The corporation mentality in which employees are numbers is abundantly clear. In a company with less than 200 people. I'll also mention the cash flow problems, the horrendous politics, the sexual harassment allegations that don't get addressed, the sudden lack of communication by upper management, the astounding lack of understanding by the leadership team of how the product works are all red flags as well. Please think long and hard about working for this company before you do.
