Review is 15 months old and we've made a lot of changes. We wish this person the best in their future professional positions. Also Palmetto has intensified its talent acquisition efforts to make sure new employees are a good all around fit for the company; our culture and the rapid growth and fast paced environment (Palmetto is not for everyone) that Palmetto is currently experiencing and will continue in the future. We grow, on avg, 25% a month, with expansion across the USA.

Pros

unlimited PTO, some positive changes are slowly being made. very slowly

Cons

Senior management does not support or advocate for the advancement of people working hard beneath them. There are multiple promises made that are never followed up on and many employees remain stagnant. They rarely promote from within and just add more and more people at the top so everyone else essentially gets demoted. There is no raise structure and merit based raises are a myth. There is a lot of talk and little action. The company is great for people that are compensated fairly. They talk about culture all the time, but it's a culture that again, benefits people being paid fairly. It's not the company's fault that it had to become fully remote, but they have really dropped the ball with the transition. It's so incredibly unfair at how different people and departments are treated, when everyone is working hard to move the company forward. The complaints in other reviews are valid and anyone criticizing the negative reviews are elitist and an insult to other departments they know nothing about.

Thank you for taking the time to write your review. As we continue to grow as an organization, it’s imperative that issues like this are flagged and addressed. At the time this review was written, it’s true that we did not have a documented raise structure or review cycle. Because of feedback like this and under new People and Culture leadership, our team rolled out a performance management program aimed at creating equity in advancement opportunities across teams and we’re in the midst of completing our first merit review cycle. I’d strongly encourage you to share your thoughts confidentially and in greater detail with me or anyone on the People and Culture team so we can address other disparities that you’re seeing in your function. Thanks again for your feedback. We will use this to strengthen our culture and look forward to more.
