Great company, great talent across the entire organization

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Motion offers good career growth opportunities in most areas of the company. It is a strong company with solid leadership overall.

Cons

The six month waiting period for insurance on new hires seems to be outdated in this age. There is a lack of leadership in some departments - good at managing upward, poor at managing downward.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great coworkers and laid back setting when toxic personnel aren't around.

Cons

Branch manger is inept, disconnected, and practices favoritism. Lots of politics, incompetence, and toxicity. A lower manager and a salesman verbally abused the warehouse person on a daily basis, and no one would step in due to fear of retaliation. Not great for morale!

Fair Pay, Solid work life balance, but flimsy technical leadership

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

It's a well established company with fairly good benefits, and a solid work culture with good work life balance.

Cons

The technical leadership is way out of their depth. Most of the technical managers at the director level and above are pretty incompetent. They sorta made things work whenever they were developers at motion or managers, and now that technology is advancing past them, they are stumbling around blindly without understanding what they are making decisions about. So all tough or technical decisions get pushed down to the more competent technical employees, or they are not made at all. Leading to a standstill on technical innovation and modernization. It can lead to just a few rockstars in the technical part of the organization carrying all of the weight, and progress and technical quality suffers as a ton of work is going through a small funnel of only a few employees.
