Ramsey Solutions reviews

I came in being a fan of what they teach. However, I ended up quitting because of poor, horrific "leadership". Do not dismiss all the negative press and negative reviews. This company goes to extreme measures to silence employees and to control every aspect of an employees life. Before deciding to even interview here, PLEASE find former employees to talk too. Current employees live in fear and someone on my team was actually fired after "talking ill about the company" all because a board member happened to be at the same restaurant as this employee and "overheard" their private conversation. There are MANY more horrific stories- just do your research and you will uncover 99 reasons to not pursue a job here. My immediate manager, or "leader" as they say, continually lied and manipulated us. He discouraged us from seeking raises or going to senior leadership. However, when I rang the alarm and all his wrongdoings came to light- senior leadership did not hand out any consequences. Instead, he simply had to apologize and got to remain in charge. This company fires employees for lying but protects leaders who lie. And THIS is the main problem of this company: Leaders protect leaders which promotes a culture of dishonesty, fear and fear of retaliation. People continue to leave the company in droves yet the company has now forced everyone to sign NDAs to avoid anyone from continuing to speak out. THAT speaks volumes. Need I say more? You've been warned.

• If you aren't a P&L leader or in a technical field, don't expect market pay. You'll be expected to consider other factors as part of your compensation: the missional value of the work, the "event" perks (xmas party, lunches). • Get used to hearing how terrible it is to work anywhere else. On at least a weekly basis, you'll be drilled about how bad nearly all other companies treat their people and how their work doesn't matter like it does here. • For a small company (< 600 at the time) they have become remarkably corporate, despite their insistence that resisting a corporate mentality is part of their core values. In recent years, introducing new ideas is incredibly tedious, requiring board, leadership and sub-committee approval, painstaking planning, and the end result is frequently failure and overspending. The agile, market sensitive mentality has been gone from there for years in favor of mass appeal and a "world domination" mentality. • Dave is a strong leader, hell-bent on accomplishing his goals, but that can get sideways sometimes. The internal witch-hunt that followed his discovery of someone bad-mouthing him on Twitter was scary. He literally offered thousands of dollars to any employee that turned in another employee for bad-mouthing the company. He instructed his HR team to infiltrate a private Facebook group of former employees so he could find out what they were saying about him. Then he posted their names and negative comments on the screen during the all-company staff meeting so everyone could know who to shun. And from what I'm reading here, this type of stuff is still going on today. • Speaking of the all-company staff meeting, there was the time Dave waved a handgun around for the shock value of teaching us all that the things we say publicly were even more deadly than his gun.
