Pros

Great co-workers, loved some of the employees I worked with and often wondered why they stayed around such a draining Company.

Cons

Hotwire Communications is one the most poorly run operations I've ever seen. People running the company have zero business or telecom knowledge so are constantly hiring, firing, re-structuring, just to see if something might eventually work. Firing employees means nothing to upper management. People are let go without blinking an eye (and normally without very much reason other than the President says so). There is no performance review structure, no raises, no bonus structure, no acknowledgment in general of any work employees are doing. Hotwire needs to realize that your people are your business, and you treat your people like worthless worker bees. People want a career, not a job. Working is more than making money to survive, it should be about growing, learning, and staying motivated, loving what you do. Hotwire provides none of those opportunities. The people running this Company are not nice people. They are known for maintaining an aggressive and inappropriate work environment, leading with fear instead of respect.

Terrible Place to Work

Pros

Work independently. Self directed. Must be self sufficient. No one is there to help you.

Cons

Cut throat environment. Employee turnover is unreal. Let go an entire department before Christmas.... hired all new people... let them go within 6 months. No clear strategic direction. Fickle senior management. No teamwork.

Pros

There are no pros. The only "people" who are happy have a "connection" with someone. However, they too, are truly unhappy. "Management" changes and those who have seen the true identity of this place have voluntarily walked away. Those who have tried to make a difference weren't heard or seen.

Cons

You have great ideas? You want to share with your "boss?" Boss? How do you think they got into that role? Right. By being in the click. Share your goals, ideas, and someone else will take the credit and get honored. Trust. It HAS happened to many folks. No raises, evaluations or support. They live on their own island with their big screen TVs on the wall and only come out to go to lunch. Meetings get cancelled. ZERO communication to the team. Wait...Is not the name hotwire COMMUNICATION? What a fallacy. It's a bait and switch. If you have and self respect and/or a family, Don't do it. Oh, and expense reports? You won't see your money for 3 to 6 months. Try to get help? Confidentiality? Please. A closed door means nothing. The squeaky wheel? No grease. FIRED>
