Pros

I never suffered alone; we were all miserable together.

Cons

A family run business where skill is not a factor in assigning roles for upper management. Most employees are friends of family, if not family themselves. Depending on who you asked, you get a different story; there is NO transparency or official policies in place, whatsoever. Micro-managing every step of the way; Expect no positive words from management. Meetings are unproductive and time consuming – think: meetings to schedule other meetings. Overtime is expected but not appreciated. Very low morale between departments due to poor management and a shaky business model. If you are a prospective client STAY FAR AWAY! Everything is done as cheaply as possible – “profit over quality” is the motto at INNOVEX. Some of the business practices are downright crooked. If you are potential employee, be prepared to wear 5 hats. It doesn’t matter how overloaded you are with accounts, management refuses to hire enough talent to get the job done. This company wants to save cost to the point that everyone gets old laptops that are half-broken and were outdated even by 2009 standards. Ironic for a company that professes being a digital innovator. Perks? Ha! Your perk is that you have a job. There is no employee culture whatsoever. Owners do not spend a single penny to further employee satisfaction. The work environment is horrible; the building is filthy and the only 2 bathrooms in the entire building are disgusting. I would cringe anytime I heard a visiting client ask to use the bathroom. Down right embarrassing.

Pros

This is the best company I have ever worked for! Every morning I come in with a smile on my face and am greeted by my fellow coworkers. Chris Parisi is the best and gives out high fives in the hallways! Upper management usually comes around with a word of encouragement (and sometimes donuts and high fives) before we start our day off because they are the best. Workdays are like living in a great and classic movie; Sale here! Happy customer there! Success everywhere! There is always something going on in the INNOVEX Café, just the other day three warehouse employees had a small dance battle while I ate my lunch and watched. Days will fly by and sometimes I wish that I could work past 5pm but upper management will not let us, this is a family-owned business and family comes first before business. Many times a week they must physically push employees out of the side door to close down for the day. It is so funny! I have never been so happy in my life and I am so glad that I work here because there is no other company like it ever.

Cons

I can not think of anything bad to say! Maybe that it is almost too good of a job and life outside can not compare lol because it's great. The bathrooms are like spas, us girls practically crowd in to put on our morning make-up.

Hello, thank you for taking the time to place this review. I don't recall any dance battles or management pushing people out at 5pm, but we'll make sure to bring in donuts.
