Pros
• Hands off Management Style • Opportunities for Promotions as others leave/get promoted • At least in the USA, paychecks do come on time • Relevant certification exams are paid for but books and training are not • Flexible work hours • New Office! No longer in the En Pointe Building!
Cons
• Employees are not treated equally and your prospects are based more on your manager than your abilities. • Compensation is below average. • Training is often as robust as being handed a piece of paper with instructions and being told “good luck.” • Senior Management does not seem to have a plan for the future and if there is one it is not disclosed to the rank and file or even lower level management. • Company handbook states there will be annual reviews. I never received one my entire time there. There is very little feedback to the line employees. • Employee morale is quite low. • Company needs and profits are above all including client satisfaction and trust. This is disturbing considering that Allied Digital is a services company. • There is little to no documentation for any processes, policies or procedures. • Communication between teams, departments, and units is severely lacking. • There is very much a “me first” attitude among employees and management. You cannot count on your coworkers. • No desire to improve or correct unless mandated by a client (i.e. a client is going to cancel service), even after faced with repeated failures.
