Pros

Friendly and helpful co-workers, always hardworking and willing to help a lending hand. The professional services manager was very helpful and professional, great at checking in and handing difficult situations. HR Manager (CEO's wife) was extremely sweet and caring, acted as the office mom.

Cons

The issue at Foodtec stems from the CEO. He creates an extremely hostile work environment, at the end of the day he would target someone and curse them out, belittle them, make them feel stupid and incompetent in front of coworkers, often causing tears or employees walking out. Foul and offensive language. The work load and assignment deadlines were beyond unrealistic for any individual employee or department. Constantly falling behind, neglecting customers and passing around complaint calls until customers were enraged. I was often yelled at by dissatisfied customers over the phone and rightfully so, issues or requests would be reported and failed to gain attention for weeks at times. Terrible work/life balance No company culture, outings or team building, clock in, work, clock out. All employees completely overworked, over stressed and underpaid. Consistently dissatisfied, angry and confused customers, which is a shame as most employees truly do their best to excel and meet as many customer needs as possible. Understaffed. No positive reinforcement whatsoever. Scare tactics and yelling Everything is tracked, if you go on a bathroom break, "time idle" shows on your computer and is visible to your manager. Forget lunch breaks and vacation, you gain a vacation day for every month already worked. Bare minimum paid holidays, yet the office in Greece gets days off for all of their holidays. No upward mobility, you will be promised the world in your interview, you are there to fill a space for as long as you can tolerate it. The list goes on

Thanks a lot for taking the time to review us and I am sorry to hear that your experience was not as expected. I have taken note of your suggestions and, as you probably know, my top consideration is to maintain a fair and positive working environment. On that note, I wish I had known your concerns earlier and not through Glassdoor, but I haven't been made aware of any specific incident like the one you have noted above in the last months. For what it is worth, I would encourage you to approach HR earlier with your concerns in the future and not after you have left a company without notice.Thank you for your kind words regarding Susan Bounas. She is not the HR manager since the last 8 months, but I will let her know of your appreciation.Regarding office holidays: We offer 8 days in the US (6 office holidays and 2 personal days) and 9 office holidays in Greece, however we are working on making these equal.We wish you the best in your future career progression. If you have any other input regarding the company, please feel free to send it on to hr@foodtecsolutions.com.

Pros

Covered parking and a solid area to get errands done on break

Cons

The owner and his family associates Constant micromanagement Constant belittling and harassment You never see the person who hires you after the first day Instability among coworkers Low pay Terrible benefits Not always paid on time No direct deposit Little training This place was so bad, I won’t even order a pie from places that use their system.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review for our company. I have carefully considered all your points here and I am surprised by some of the things mentioned. I confirm that our compensation policy complies with Boston's market range for each role. We also pride ourselves to always pay our employees on time. Regarding the person who interviews you, the process currently is: a)speak with HR, b)speak with the team manager/senior colleague and c) speak with our CEO. Our interview process is structured this way that you definitely see the person who hires you after your first day :) I do appreciate the process might not have been the same when you had joined the company but we are committed to improving our processes. I assure you we take employee feedback very seriously and are creating training materials, perf reviews, and organizational structure in order to help our people grow. Thank you and all the best.

Pros

There is a parking garage where you can park for free, although the spots are tiny and there is barely enough room for everyone.

Cons

This company lacks all that makes a company professional. There are no performance reviews in the year that I've worked full time. All employees are held to a different standard depending on how much the management likes you, i.e. what can be done by some cannot necessarily by done by all. Policies can be changed at a whim without any official notice to the employees. There is no room for professional growth or development. The company does not build you up as an asset and instead treats its employees as cheap commodites, which reflects in the pay. Along with this, when employees leave, the company fails to replace them in a timely manner so the employees are forced to do the work of multiple people without any bonuses or change in compensation.
