Evox Images Reviews

Pros

I love this Company. It is a great place to work as there’s plenty of opportunity to learn and grow. The CEO is awesome. The company is entrepreneurial, continuously trying new technology. I’m proud to be part of a company that is the leader in the automotive imaging space. What I like most is there is a team environment where employees collaborate and support each other.

Advice to Management

I've been given the resources and support I need to succeed so far. Continue to provide the same resources and tools to your employees you have up until now.

Pros

The company has an amazing work/life balance. With rare exception, you don't have to work long hours or take work home, and getting time off is a breeze.

Outside of management, the people are some of the kindest, most hard working folks I've ever had the pleasure of knowing.

Advice to Management

Treat your employees, the ones that make the money, like they matter. Be honest internally and with clients. Hire competent management.

Pros

A lot of talent and potential. Oppurtunity to move up on the job title list fast

Advice to Management

Management? What management. They can't hold on to anyone for more than a year.

Pros

-Learn and follow employment laws in California as well as what actually makes something a Company's intellectual property.

Pros

Highly intelligent and driven group of individuals, all with a common goal. It has been, and continues to be, a positive experience.

Advice to Management

Investigate the state of morale, determine if the line has been met (that should be) to sufficiently fuel good, positive energy in the workplace.

Pros

Awesome CG Team. Only good thing about Evox Images.

Advice to Management

I usually don't even bother leaving any reviews on anything unless it is necessary. I held off for too long, and this is something people should know if people even think to apply at Evox Images.

Treat your empolyees with respect and don't point fingers at others for your own fault. All I can say is, karma...this company WILL fold soon. Current employees, I highly recommend seek for other opportunities, unless you rather work at this miserable place.

And PAY ARTISTS what they deserve, instead of paying management six figures! The Management sure do not deserve it while they are working onsite for 2 full days in a week. I cannot repeat enough...worse, THE WORSE company EVER!

Pros

Only one: better than not working.

Advice to Management

Disregard all the favorable reviews because you can be assured they were coerced under duress by the owner/ceo of the company, possibly with threat of termination. They claim in the “Nightmare; only if you can’t feed yourself” post that “…we can assure you that the Company has not posted any "fake" reviews. We are proud to say that many of our employees have been stepping forward to show their solidarity and stand behind their leadership. Creating multiple identities in order to continue to post false and misleading attacks, however, goes against both the spirit and the letter of the rules and requirements of this website.” True, they may not be planted posts but they are definitely coerced. Also note you cannot find favorable reviews from former employees. Even current employees are giving unfavorable reviews and probably getting terminated in the process if the owner/ceo determines who they are.

Furthermore, pay particular attention to the composition of the so-called favorable reviews and one can easily infer they are as credible as forced confessions from beaten prisoners in third world nations. They are also veiled attempts by the owner/ceo to defend the dysfunctional Evox Images environment which is solely a product of his own creation. Specifically reference “The Pursuit of Happiness.” Who talks about any company in that manner? Completely fake. “….An employer is not obligated to provide food or coffee. Not only do we have coffee, we have fresh bean coffee! Thank you Evox!” Wow, I sure am impressed! Evox Images provides free coffee; surely no other companies do that! And fresh bean coffee, what a luxurious fringe benefit that is! More importantly, look at what is said in the Cons section, “….It is truly unfortunate to learn or hear of negativity for those who may be unhappy. I have read some of the not so nice comments, and I take this opportunity to say, if in your life’s quest you find happiness, and are satisfied with your work/health balance, then it is a good thing you are no longer at Evox because complaining is self-inflicted and harmful to your well-being, and detrimental to the Evox culture.” Huh?!? Gee, that doesn’t sound scripted and coerced. Me thinks the owner/ceo doth protest too much about the nightmarish Evox Images working conditions. Oh, I forgot, this was just another employee stepping forward to show solidarity as referenced above.

Finally, keep in perspective that the owner/ceo even attempted to post a blog in his defense here a few months ago, which Glassdoor in turn deleted as pure company propaganda. I guess he finally started to realize the game is up based on social network media sites such as Glassdoor. As it stands now, his reputation is so infamous most reputable recruiters won’t touch him or the company with a ten-foot pole.

Further note the euphemistic tone of the so-called favorable reviews, with comments such as “fast-paced, energetic and changing environment, not for everyone” and the like. Translation to the reality, which can be confirmed in the unfavorable reviews. The owner/ceo is an evil, tyrannical sociopath who changes course on a whim and micromanages employees to death so nothing ever gets done, demands employees work harder than the Egyptian slaves who built the pyramids did, compensates them poorly, berates and belittles them in the process, and ultimately terminates them en masse and also on a whim. They even have the gall to claim in their response to the “Nightmare; only if you can’t feed yourself” post that “….The last time we did a layoff was after the dot-com crash 14 years ago ...so this is not something we take lightly or do very often!” Massive lie! They have been terminating employees en masse and on the owner/ceo’s whim since inception, and they still continue this practice. Again, note all the unfavorable reviews that reference the pattern. Honestly their labor practices would be illegal in Europe.

So let me ask this of anyone entertaining the prospect of working at Evox Images. Would you really want to be in a “fast-paced, energetic and changing environment that is not for everyone” if the reality actually is so-called constant changes in direction and associated micromanagement which results in almost nothing getting accomplished, getting belittled and berated in a manner that would make Gordon Ramsey blush, demands to work like Egyptian slaves for poor compensation and not even a 401k option, and finally coming in every day with the very credible possibility of being the casualty of termination? Ever stop and think why the company constantly has openings? Probably not because it is “the pursuit of happiness” to work there and “not for everyone.” H-m-m-m, seems to me that Evox Images is the pursuit of MISERY, not for ANYONE and certainly DOES NOT ROCK. Accordingly, potential candidates should disregard all the favorable posts, unless fresh bean coffee somehow compensates for all of the above mentioned.

Pros

Exciting and dynamic work environment. Great upside potential.

Advice to Management

Stay the course. A lot of exciting new initiatives.

Pros

Not reporting to the CEO

Advice to Management

Keep your employees informed about your corporate direction and ask for their input and more importantly, respect their input.
