    Toxic IT Culture

    Aug 19, 2022 - Manager 
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    Support teams work hard and deliver, and if you land with the right team and manager you'll enjoy working with them. Working with customers was a pleasure and most of them understood the constraints. CEO was replaced with former CEO Steve Cooper. Cooper is a good person who understands the company and the people. Very down to earth.

    Cons

    New IT leadership making culture worse. Hiring all of their friends from former company. Lack of direction and inability to accept any firm, but fair critical feedback. Sr. Director levels not knowing what their teams are responsible for. Silo environment, lack of collaboration between teams. Working holidays and weekends is expected, happens frequently. Unwilling to understand or address quarterly survey feedback. Not interested in retaining employees.

    The Company Culture is Amazing!!!

    Sep 2, 2022 - Implementation Manager 
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    Pros

    The company's family oriented structure concerning support across different departments, and chains of command is one of the most attractive traits of this organization. Not including the amazing proprietary software that streamlines a plethora of business functions.

    Cons

    Specific to the Implementation department, there is a disconnect between the implementation team in the field and our reporting Directors/Executive Directors. This makes it difficult to show proof of work beyond measurable metrics. I've had projects across the nation where I was doing a bulk of the tasks required, or contributed to crucial elements of our success with new client sites; and not even receive recognition, even further if you can't trust the lead on the site, they can even give dishonest reports offline to our reporting Directors offline and actually easily take credit for one or a bulk of the reporting manager's contributions. I've been blindsided and gaslighted as a result of this quite a few times. The leads can literally get away with murder and slander really valuable, amazing managers to elevate their branding towards making Director without recourse. This really distracts from how amazing this company is across different departments (as a whole).
