Terrible Manager and uncomfortable work environment

Pros

To get a low wage paycheck with little opportunity for growth and raises for hard work and efforts. This is more of a con as you may see.

Cons

Manager was unorganized, repeatedly took credit for lower level employee’s work, she wore unprofessional attire, wrote up employees for behavior that the manger does not exemplify, does not welcome productive feedback, commands rather than lead by example

Pros

Starkey has the best people, hands down. Almost everyone I worked with was professional, kind and wanted to be helpful. Great vacation/PTO plans. 5 weeks is hard to beat. Super great family company. This means they have Breakfast with Santa, October Halloween event, 5K races, Parking lot concerts and parties. My family enjoyed so many parties and events. Truly, thank you! Great cafeteria and staff. Loved working with them and coordinating events. Kevin Knutson is a TREASURE. Starkey Healthcare Clinic. Such an amazing thing to have. A great resource to save employees time and money! Receptionists are awesome and such a vital part of Starkey!

Cons

There is no career path for Admins. There were mixed messages about what you needed to do to advance to higher positions. Each reorg would result in more work for each admin instead of hiring another admin. Burnout is prevalent and is a major reason why I left. The raises are given in lump sum to the managers. In order to get a decent raise as an admin, you needed to be compared to other employees. The admins typically get the lowest raises and bonuses and should be placed in a separate category. HR business partners are only for the leaders. There are not enough resources for anyone else. No help for career growth and development or time for any issues. There were emails I sent to the HR business partner that got forwarded back to my boss. Disappointing. There is no reward or loyalty for staying a 'long time' at Starkey. New people get the perks (jackets, swag, higher pay) and old people get a certificate. LOL Head of Security was really difficult to work with. Very slow to respond to issues and unprofessional.
