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.
