Potential Hires: You can do better - Former Leadership Position QTS Employee Review

QTS's leadership is lacking diversity in both gender and color - the C Suite is all white and only one woman in place (HR role). As published in their ESG report (available online) 65% of their workforce is white, 12.9% Black, 9% Hispanic, 6% Asian; additionally only 22% of QTS’ workforce is comprised of women... Their lack of commitment to creating a diverse workplace puts into perspective how behind and out of touch they are with the gen-x/millennial/gen-z workforce wants and needs. For example, QTS' version of work/life balance is offering a Flex Program that offers 52 days a year remote which needs to be logged in their system and approved by management. QTSers want a Diversity and Inclusion effort (to include a C-suite role) at QTS but the CEO couldn’t stomach a group with such a name and in turn had it renamed to "Community in Action" the day the program was launch. Every effort to pull QTS into the 21st century is met with resistance by the CEO and leadership, making QTS a place where ‘disruptors’ and individuals who question the status quo no longer welcome, and the few remaining who refuse to toe the company line are being silenced quickly. In addition to the above, the CEO leverages his Christian ideology in almost every All Hands, Sales Kick Off, and People Rally meetings. For some, that behavior can be ostracizing and uncomfortable which doesn't seem to affect him or other leaders. Additionally his conservative political ideology is manifested in the types of QTSers that are hired and are in leadership positions, further curating a homogenous workforce. QTS in 2023 leaves current employees and prospective employees with much to be desired. Like this review's headline stated...you can do better.
