False promises and money hungry

Pros

I enjoyed getting to know my coworkers.

Cons

I had signed on with Plus One because they promised me professional growth, flexibility, bonus incentives, etc. It appears when becoming onboarded not only is there a complete lack of organization and outdated systems, there is a huge disconnect from their “leadership team” to employee or manager. I felt undervalued, that my ideas were not heard, and that the job that was “sold” to me was not the reality. In addition the process to get anything approved is lengthy, disorganized, and seemed like a lost cause. Aside from these issues, I had to exit the position and company due to personal and medical reasons. I requested multiple times to work from home to make things work and was left with vague and incomplete answers. While sick and dealing with needing to go to the doctor, I couldn’t leave work because I was “needed” by the company. In addition to that, Plus One asked me to write a check for almost half of what my salary was, to compensate for the 5 days of PTO I took and discussed with my team and got cleared before I started the position. This company does not only put their corporate monetary wants before the physical and mental well-being of its employees, but also does not hold integrity as a value. It’s clear this company is disorganized, has a large gap between high level and entry level or management level employees, and appears to be scrambled and cold hearted. I would not recommend taking a job here and have been in a very sticky position since leaving. I am disappointed in the lack of integrity in this company and suggest to look into opportunities that aren’t power and money hungry.

Not worth your time

Pros

There are no pros from Plus One. If you happen to work at a site that offers incentives to contractors that may be a pro. At the site I was at I was able to get some access to educational resources. If you are brand new to the industry and have no experience, This is a good place to begin to get some experience, but do not stay much past 2 years.

Cons

No 401k match. No educational stipend. No increase in pay (max 3% cost of living increase). Pay varies dramatically from site to site. If you are looking to move even laterally to another site you will begin back at the original salary, even losing all of the little raises you earned. Extremely political. If you kiss up enough you're likely to move up. Forced education from national leadership leaves no room for individual personal development. They treat everyone like a cog in a wheel and not a person.

Plus One Review

Pros

The company direct management of the branch is good and very open. They have an open door policy and work hard to meet the needs of their employees.

Cons

The regional management is poor and the systems the company uses are very outdated. Full time staffing is not 40 hours, but only 35 hours per week. While the company does have upward growth, the process is extremely slow and clunky. There does not seem to be a urgency with keeping good employees. Overall, it is not a company that I would recommend to other people.
