vendor payment issues - Environmental Scientist Atlas Technical Consultants Employee Review

Pros

Offers a fair mount of vacation and sick time. Flexible hours. If you have a good local manager, the dysfunctional corporate structure makes it easy for them to manage local personnel and local clients fairly and correctly.

Cons

This company is being used to pay off the interest for a private equity firm. Cash is in very short supply and vendors are not being paid on time. Vendor invoices are often sitting unpaid for weeks AFTER the client pays us. Multiple environmental clients and staff have been lost as a result of this issue due to frustration and complaints from vendors. Corporate structure has been disorganized and communication between local offices and national programs is very poor. Chain of command is often confusing, employees are still unsure if local offices even have branch management. Several attempts to reorganize the corporate structure have been tried, but employees are still confused about leadership. After 4 years the entire company is still not on the same billing/invoice system. Extremely slow performance review process. Pay is below average for the industry. Corporate heads talk a lot about growth and communication, but little has come of it to improve either.

Pros

Work with amazing co-workers. Everyone gets along like a family.

Cons

Upper management seems disconnected from what’s actually needed at the local level to keep clients satisfied—we’re losing too many of them. It takes significant time and expense to start and finalize contracts, and delays are pushing clients to go elsewhere. There should be more flexibility to pursue smaller jobs so we can stay competitive with other companies. While landing six-figure contracts benefits overall profits, it doesn’t always support employees in the short term. Those larger projects often take time to secure, and in the meantime, smaller jobs are what keep people working and earning a steady income. That consistency is essential for covering everyday expenses like food, utilities, and other necessities. Relying on employees to use PTO or sick time to bridge these gaps isn’t sustainable—it eventually runs out. This leads to longer hours, fewer breaks, and little opportunity to rest or spend time with family. A better balance between large and small projects would help support both the company’s goals and the well-being of its employees.
