FairWarning reviews

By any reasonable standard this company is completely micromanaged. You will be measured constantly, watched and questioned about everything you do, asked for opinions and be publicly scorned for them, and under the concept of Accountability be made to endure or provide public apologies for slightest transgressions. No annual reviews or raises. PTO/time off policy has ridiculous restrictions. Leadership will smile at you one moment and walk you the next. Management is very petty. Turnover is RAMPANT. I know people who are unemployed who I won't recommend this company to. If you quit on your own they will treat you like dirt, like they can't believe you wouldn't want to work there. No employee advocates because family members hold top positions throughout including HR. That top workplace designation is a joke too. Departments are small and employee demographic questions are asked. If you give negative feedback many employees fear they can be identified by management despite the advertised anonymity.

Where do I begin……I came in when the company was young and was able to grow with it – not a con, just setting the terrain. They operate from a state of fear and this is why you see all these GLORIOUS reviews here because they make you write reviews in their favor. No joke. Same with the "Tampa Bay Best Places to Work" reviews, they made every employee write one and as you can tell, all in their favor. There should be ramifications with that from an industry standpoint because it’s not honest and when you threaten employees to give you good reviews, there must but 100 bad ones they're trying to hide. Time and time again peers in the IT industry would ask me and others if we would recommend this company to them for new employment, I have NEVER EVER nor will I EVER recommend ANY person I know to work here. In the beginning, it wasn't all like this, there were very minimal issues. You will fight for commissions, raises, promotions, etc that are rightfully yours. They will dispose of you the week after they praise you, then blame YOU so that no one thinks they’re the bad guy. Ask yourself, why would they offer ANYone outside of the company a $1000 employee referral? Because they can’t find anyone because they have ruined their reputation in the IT industry here locally. They are hiring super young, out-of-college, students now. Because they lack a business moral compass and have no experience to compare this company to. Against what every fictitious review here has said, it is VERY cliquey. If you are liked = you are safe. As soon as that changes, and it will often, you are a target and they will promote the bad attitude towards you across mgmt from the top down. You need to be a "YES" man in order to gain that safety. So for every brilliant idea you hear from the top, YES / head nods are required. Opinions are not wanted. Another thing, and it’s a MAJOR thing, you do not have an employee advocate as the executives and mgmt at this company is family. It’s a compete conflict of interest. They can be nice people, but I think business should stay business and family stay family, keep it separate. Lastly, you will lack a path of advancing in your career. They will make it "appear" that one exists but it never comes to fruition. Sitting my professional traumas aside, there is always one thing that stands true, a leopard never changes it’s spots. Ask around to people who work there or have worked there on Linkedin. Investigate this company yourself and come to your own conclusions. GOOD LUCK!
