      From Bad to Worse

      Vice president
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      "It had a good run"

      Cons

      My experience there was so bad - board members would borrow money and not repay me. My boss asked me to cancel a house purchase because he wanted to buy the place. Loads of inappropriate gender and race behavior...ask about the turnover and the culture. Why is everyone leaving?

      Working at SEMA

      Manager
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      The employee culture and work life balance at SEMA was unmatched. i.e. bbqs, bowling, bingo, the holiday party, the SEMA show, and more. People seemed happy to work there. Staff were mostly friendly and helpful. I would work for SEMA again...

      Cons

      Some challenges included gaining trust from upper management to accomplish simple tasks. As a practitioner, I found it baffling that my ideas were often rejected. Also, HR is an extremely important function in any organization from an employee relations perspective to benefits, etc.... HR leaders should be perceived as strategic partners.

      Vapid toxic workplace

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      None, all the things that were positive left with the old CEO/VPs/Employees

      Cons

      - Work life balance - Low pay - Incompetent leadership - Not diverse - Board members are robots - CEO is obsolete - Marketing is garbage - Show is the same recycled BS with a different year attached to it. - You have to be the right color to progress in this company or butt buddies with the CEO and talk about Datsuns. - no one likes the tuna at sema.
