Live under constant fear and toxicity - Anonymous employee Austin Colby Employee Review

I came across a few interesting reviews regarding my company. Toxic people are not allowed to flourish here. That should not be a con. A company should not receive a poor review because negative, unenthusiastic and selfish people want to share their opinion. Those of us that enjoy the company and take on challenges as they come are not hopping on websites sharing extremely subjective and inaccurate data anonymously for the masses. This company allows you to think and create the necessary changes for your department to be efficient. If you are getting paid, you should earn your pay by doing your job. With this company, that does not mean a million hours or settling for the status quo. It simply means people have their own mind and the 'crazy concept' within our organization is as an employee you are required to think. How that is a con is beyond me. It is not a con to be awarded a project. The con is the employee not following through. It is not a con to ask 3 of your 8 work hours are not spent texting or on social media. The audacity of some of you who wrote these reviews. Especially, the individual who decided to use the word 'mafia' based on one of the Executive's being Italian American. It speaks more to who you are and why you are no longer here.

The time required to identify the negative, entitled and/or lazy people who do not want to think. The time it takes to identify those people who slowly create an unhappy work environment. The time it takes to identify people who want to collect free checks without earning them. The con is recognizing them and giving them additional opportunities as they accept being overpaid and turn down challenges that would help them grow.

Decent pay and good vacation time. Some of the coworkers have been great... they just no longer work there. I wish there was more to say.

No acceptable level of communication. Very little organization as well. I am aware of approximately 15 people that have been fired or quit, and this all within a very small group. I've seen people last only 2 weeks, and I've seen people who put in a ton of time and effort accomplished given goals be let go out of nowhere. I am not aware of any reviews, pay increases or bonuses at all. I have witnessed others going above and beyond and are treated no differently. I have expirienced this as well. Suggestions of many kinds took months to be addressed. And this is not some complex work environment where suggestions might get lost in the shuffle. If you are hired to do one task, it's guaranteed you'll be asked to do a lot more. This is because the turnover is so insanely high and staffing levels are kept very low. Stay at your desk at all times, and even if you are salaried micromanage your time all 45 required hours.
