Pros

A company pioneering many modern office elements like working from home. Good feedback loop.

Cons

- Lots of gossip from the top down. Gossiping to select employees only indicates that you're talking about THEM behind their backs too, looks so poorly on leadership. - Formal and written performance reviews are needed, disappointing that CEO admits to stopping these crucial touchpoints with staff during the pandemic. - For an HR company, the benefits package is terrible - would prefer the cash to stay in the employees pockets. Yes, eyeglasses are essential! - Clique-y, too casual in many ways. This is likely due to the family-owned and operated history, perhaps bringing new managers into the picture could help steer in a better direction and improve employee retention. - Must prioritize staff meeting each other face-to-face to establish good working relationships - if they are comfortable doing so.

We don’t always get it right. Our recent employee engagement survey (with a 92% response rate) showed an extremely high level of satisfaction. That clearly isn’t true for you, which is why your feedback is important. It helps us improve. The emotional safety of our team is something we take very seriously – and gossip is not something we condone. If you currently work for our team as your post indicates, please reach out to our HR Leader, your Leader, or our CEO. We’re all open to listening and finding actionable solutions where needed. In terms of performance reviews, your comments lack accuracy. In recent years we’ve increased our employee touch base points. We now do quarterly check ins, as well as annual reviews – all with the goal of supporting positive professional development and success within our team. Regarding our benefits package, that too is something we’ve been developing quite extensively with recent additions such as our Employee Family Assistance Program (which is funded entirely by us) and Group Retirement Savings Plan. This is in addition to our robust health coverage which includes: health, dental, life insurance and long-term disability, among other elements. We offer paid health and wellness days (that can be used for physical, emotional, family or relationship health), Flex Days (to allow for a greater work-life balance), and paid parental leave. With regards to vision care, unless you’re buying 2 pairs of glasses a year, it’s actually cheaper to simply purchase the glasses then pay the vision portion for benefit. For that reason, we don’t offer it. Instead we increased paramedical, which includes psychologists, social workers and psychotherapists because this applies more globally to our team. If you would like to discuss your concerns in greater detail, again, we encourage you to reach out. Growth can only occur with two-way communication.

Pros

Altis is honestly one of those rare places where the culture isn’t just something they talk about, it’s something you feel every day. The people are kind, supportive, and genuinely invested in each other’s success. Leadership puts a lot of thought into every decision, and it shows. You never feel like “just an employee”, they really do care about you as a person, your growth, and your goals. There’s always change happening, but it comes from a genuine desire to improve and evolve. The pace is quick, but that's the exciting part - you know the company is always trying to level up. What I love most is the balance: yes, there are goals to hit, but it never feels like numbers come before people. Instead, you’re encouraged to succeed while also being supported, appreciated, and given the space to grow. You know your contributions matter, no matter what level you’re at, and that sense of purpose makes it easy to stay engaged and excited about the work.

Cons

Nothing to mention, thank you.

Pros

One of the more reputable recruiting firm. From the first meeting you could really sense they're overall professionalism. The entire recruiting process was thoroughly explained. Having dealt with many recruiters in the past I can safely say they're one of the better ones. Everyone that I've touched based with at Altis was extremely professional in not only providing information, but also providing constant updates to the recruiting process. Definitely would recommend them to any of my colleagues in the industry. Give them a try and I'm sure you'll be blown away by their services.

Cons

Some team members are more responsive than others
