Great place to work - IT Project Manager Goldbelt Employee Review

Great company and very professional, especially my recruiter, and enjoyed my team.

I would say that when our contract was ending, we wish we had more time to prepare.

Overall, the people themselves were professional and hardworking, but the structure and management approach did not align with the type of HR environment I work best in.

My experience with Goldbelt showed me that the benefits team is made up of hardworking professionals, but the department itself appeared to be extremely overworked, under-supported, and heavily micromanaged. The environment felt heavily focused on constant oversight, repetitive verification processes, and administrative control measures that I personally found excessive for a benefits administration function. The onboarding and training process felt rushed from the start. I was placed into back-to-back meetings and expected to begin handling operational work by day two without having adequate time to properly review benefit plans, Summary Plan Descriptions (SPDs), workflows, or internal processes necessary to effectively support employees. From an operational perspective, I believe the department would benefit from stronger automation, better workflow systems, and potentially partnering with a third-party administrator (TPA) to reduce the administrative burden on the internal team. There also seemed to be a heavy reliance on email-based filing and tracking, which can create inefficiencies and make processes more difficult to manage in a high-volume environment. Overall, the experience gave me a clearer understanding of the type of HR culture and management style I work best in moving forward.
