Pros

Before covid and going fully remote it was the collaborative environment, the Friday Happy Hours, and the employee parties/events but those won’t exist ever again because they got rid of their Ansira in Action team who planned all those events. Also, I liked my team.

Cons

Unstable upper management team. They are constantly moving managers around and creating ‘new’ positions without any real direction. In the past two years, Ansira has had 4 different CEO’s..if that tells you anything. Clients are unhappy and leaving because Ansria sells them things that don’t exist or that are unobtainable. Client teams are unhappy because they are not given the resources to meet the client expectations and constantly feel like they are failing. Ansira is broke. They took away merit raises and stopped matching our 401Ks. They also highly discourage working overtime and they don’t payout any unused PTO. I can imagine it will be very hard to get a raise or a promotion or any other kind of monetary benefits from this company in the future. Zero transparency. Upper management will act blindly before thinking things through which then creates negative effects for the teams they oversee. Examples: Laying off people without thinking about who is going to do their job when they leave. This leads to my next con... They don’t backfill. If a member of your team leaves, guess who has to handle all that work now? You. And you’ll have to do it all within the 40 hour work week because they stopped paying out OT, or they highly discourage working OT, but still expect you to get your work done. You won’t get additional compensation for your additional work either. Also, you’ll get zero training on this new work. You are expected to just figure it out and then you better not mess up, because then they will dump you. If you are successful, you’ll receive zero recognition, instead they will reward you with more work. Everything is an immediate request. They expect you to be a robot and make all your accounts happy at the exact same time. It creates a very stressful environment. Upper management needs to understand that their teams are only human and that they are prioritizing tasks the best they can. To sum it all up, this is not a fun place to work. I learned some skills and made some friends but in the end Ansira did not set me up to succeed in my career. I would not recommend working here, and if you still work here, get out now, before they fire you.

Pros

There are not any pros there.

Cons

Losing clients left and right, doesn't pay vendor bills, high turnover rate from employees with NO BACKFILL to do the work, management is tone deaf to how employees below are feeling, not transparent about internal company status/not transparent to clients, low pay/no cost of living raises

It’s disappointing to hear that you did not enjoy your experience at Ansira, so I want to address some of your concerns. We are currently undergoing a transformation to put in place additional processes that will provide our team more efficiencies, and with these changes comes a period of time when workloads may be heavier, but we are committed to improving that in the long run. Since I joined the team in February we have made a point to be more transparent and communicate with the team regularly, be it through my Friday highlight emails or our all hands meetings, to keep the team informed of company news, and we will continue to keep the lines of communication open. I wish you well in your new endeavors. Thanks, Jay
