Advance with extreme Caution - Anonymous employee Universal Laser Systems Employee Review

Poor leadership Morale issues No direction Slow product development Everyone is certainly free to view this review as any others, just know I wish I would have paid more attention to a number of these before agreeing to join Universal Laser Systems. The company is one of the most dysfunctional, poorly lead, morale challenged organizations I have ever been a part of in a long career. The operation is lead by two ego driven personalities that lack self awareness or simply don’t care. Never in my career have I been involved in more projects that had arbitrary deadlines that lacked strategy or direction. Long-term employees, and I don’t know how any of them stay that long, tell frequent stories of similar projects which have started and stopped numerous times. Additionally the place is absent of professionalism and and professional curtesy. Employees and vendors alike sit idle while waiting for leaders to get to meetings. If meetings are started without them, all in attendance who do arrive on time, are forced to revisit topics and issues already addressed. Calendars and meetings scheduled ahead of time are simply disregarded to meet the nebulous schedules of two people who offer very narrow windows for availability. I am not certain how the company stays in business as no new products have been introduced since 2009 even though they have been promised each of the last several years. Resellers are jumping ship and joining the competition and sales numbers continue to decline. If I were a prospective employee, I would ask a lot of difficult questions and get clear answers before agreeing to join the carnival.
