Premier Technology Reviews

Top 10 "Con's" 10 - Firm Fixed Salary - what you get when you agree to work for Premier is what you will be making for the lifetime of employment. 9 - Management Policy is that your supervisor/manager is not allowed to give a letter of recommendation (under any circumstance). 8 - Layoff's happen yearly to semi-yearly with no advance notice. Last layoff, of 15+ people, was one week before Thanksgiving. 7 - No severance pay offered. 6 - Earned vacation hours are not paid out if you are picked for the layoff. 5 - Can, and most likely will, be fired if owner or management finds out you are looking for other employment. 4 - Employees don't matter. Common attitude "There are 10 guys in line for your job." 3 - Moody and vindictive owner will have you fired if you do ANYTHING to make him/her mad. 2 - No-experienced family members are being promoted to experienced employees positions that were laid off. AND THE NUMBER ONE "CON" TO WORKING AT PREMIER 1 - No money for raises (even cost of living raises) yet the owner, in his speech at the Company Christmas Party, brags about his $10,000.00 per day hunt.

This used to be a partnership of three senior managers who each brought their own professionalismto the organization. Premier is now down to one owner and populated the senior management with family members - all the way from sales management to CFO. This has led to a series of questionable business ventures (all failed or failing) such as; a steel supplier, military contracts, mining equipment and an armor plating company (originally destined for rural Idaho). The result has seen hard earned business capital being squandered on spin-off companies instead of investing in the core of the company. Employees no longer seem to be an investment - rather a comodity. Shame - this was a strong and proud company at one time.
