Pros

The People are decent to work with

Cons

Management seemed out of touch with day to day struggles but no one wants to say anything negative because it’s is frowned upon.

Hello, Thank you for leaving your feedback on your time with Aires. We agree that the people are the absolute best part of working for Aires and we always welcome the opportunity to connect with them whether they be current or former employees. While we do our best to ensure that management is keyed in on the day to day struggles our teams are going through there is always room for improvement. Just in the past year we have been making strides toward improving our connection with our workforce. For example, in January we launched a revamped new hire onboarding program with incremental touch-points and surveys that allow team members to reach out and let us know what is working and what could use some work. Negative feedback is never easy to share but we want our teams to feel safe sharing it when need be. We also would like to invite you to connect offline in order to share more on your experience. You can reach us at HR@aires.com or if you would prefer more privacy you can use PeopleXConfidential@aires.com. We hope to talk soon! Thank you.

Pros

The good truly outweighs the bad. They are pretty flexible to make sure you have a good work/ life balance. Summers are busy, but that's expected in this industry. If are looking to just ride a clock Monday- Friday 8-5pm then this is not the place for you. You stay busy. I'm not aware of them ever having a layoff, so that speaks volumes about leadership.

Cons

I wish the heath insurance package was better/ cheaper and they provided tuition assistance, but other that's all I can think of. I also wish we received pay increases were more in line with inflation, but at least we received one.

Pros

- Hybrid work culture - There were some genuine good people I worked with here

Cons

Worst IT department I have ever worked at. Weak leadership that flat out ignored concerns that were brought up and only sought to place blame instead of correcting problems when something went wrong that they were warned about multiple times. This contributed to their mindset of making every little thing "urgent" - even when it wasn't, or when other employees didn't follow proper procedures they wanted it done anyway. Toxic environment with extremely poor communication and dishonesty. Micromanagers who lied and manipulated information, constantly covering up their incompetence and inability to manage others - with an extreme lack of accountability and integrity. Would tell people to get certifications and then never empower or promote employees who got them. Just got shoveled more work onto their plates without proper training on an already small staff while they never lifted a finger to help out or defend their teams when needed. Refused to enforce established policies and instead bowed down to other managers/directors who had no business sticking their nose in IT department operations - most of whom had subordinates who could barely use a computer correctly or follow directions, then cried like a toddler until they got their way.
