Pros

Pay is ok. Benefits are ok. Culture is good.

Cons

Extremely high turn over in just the accounts payable dept alone. Management is disconnected from the team, there is bad communication and no structure. Their is no real training and your left to fend for yourself as management doesn't like to help with issues, no one even checks on you, new hires have it the worst and tend to regret working there Advancement opportunities are given to the people they already want without an opening being posted, therefore no equal opportunity.

Thanks for your review! Some change was needed and it has been happening. We have made some recent organization changes and created new career paths for many of our employees. We are excited with all the many changes occurring throughout our company!

Minorities should stay away.

Pros

Potential to make money there! It will also take up 18 months to build your book of business. People are closing new business daily.

Cons

Not a job for minorities. Management at times will go weeks without saying hello even when you sit right next to them. Prior to me leaving the office was very vulgar with racist remarks and comments in the office about women, Mexicans and African Americans. Managers are selective on whom they assist and will sometimes quote you a higher rate hoping that you will fail when quoting a customer. Would be a great company to work for if it wasn't for the politics. My manager made me very uncomfortable, and fell unwanted.

Pros

Your peers are awesome and make the job bearable. The dress code is relaxed.

Cons

Where do I start? Echo prides itself on its culture, but I fail to see why. The only ones I see benefiting from this so called culture are the departments that makes Echo's money or the chosen few who are liked. Echo boasts about career advancement. This is a flat out lie! You know who advances? The people they chose to advance. It's not based on hard work and/or experience. It's strictly political and if you don't play that game, you're not going anywhere. Oh, and let's talk about this disaster of a merger with Command. Almost a year in and things are still in shambles. Any perks that were in place were taken away without adequate warning or no warning at all! And please, don't say speak to HR about your concerns. They'll just brush them off as you're complaining. Long story short, don't waste your time working here!

Echo hosts quarterly meetings that recognize top sales performers, as well as individuals that embody each one of our values. In addition, badges are given out to employees for both small and large successes inside and outside of your department. We are still working through growing pains of the integration, and will continue to smooth them out over time. We hope that you stay along for the ride, and encourage you to reach out to your manager to learn more about opportunities for advancement.
