Great coworkers and ESOP, but low pay and favoritism

anonymous employee- former employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

A lot of the employees are great to work with. ESOP is a plus. Location is good. Parking is good.

Cons

Where do I even begin? Pay is low for the Bay Area and for the space this company is in.. A lot of the employees are great to work with but the clique of employees who worked with each other at another company is blindingly rampant and shows of favoritism for outsiders. Management is inconsistent about performance and punishment for employees who are NOT good at what they do and for dedicated employees who were given an impossible task. Performance reviews are not done in a timely fashion. Communication is not great between colleagues.

Pros

Employee owned, so if you like it there’s good long term financial opportunity but you have to stay for a while. Some nice people there

Cons

Leadership acts like they’re revolutionizing AV integration, when really do the same thing as everyone else and charge a fortune for it. They do a few things well but the opportunities for those things are very hard to dig up from scratch. If you don’t have a book of business you can bring over then you will have a bad time
