MIR Reviews

The owners. Mostly, the majority owner. There was a complete lack of respect, honesty, and most of all, ethics. I suppose it is best summarized by a few specific experiences: The most disrespectful experiences were the two times that he came into my office while I was filing, and announced rather loudly to several of my male coworkers, "Hey, look guys! She's on her knees!" One of the most dishonest things he ever said to me was, well, the final of three statements, over the course of a few years. The first two statements were the same, each said to me, by him, at my most recent "annual" reviews, while negotiating my salary raise. They were both assurances that the trips that I "did" and *was to* receive annually were considered to be a part of my salary, and so that must be taken into account. I had, and later did not, receive these trips on an annual basis. His response to my pointing this out to him was, "I'm sorry if you were told that, but it's just not true." To top it off, a few months later, I'm told he went office to office to assure the other employees that I had definitely not quit because of him. As far as ethics... that involves things that ethically, I shouldn't be sharing. I do have ethics, so I won't be sharing them.

The physical location of MIR is in Seattle's historic district -- a transitional area where you need to be careful outside 24/7. MIR's top management was very understanding of this situation, and allowed me to start work early and leave early while it was still light. Much appreciated.
