Emerald Reviews

Cons...where to begin. The company I worked for was acquired by Emerald. We went from having: 1. top tier health insurance (my medication was $10 a month 2. regular in person employee reviews with potential for raises 3. regular communication between departments 4. annual bonuses To: 1. expensive health insurance with high deductible (my medication shot up to $40 a month) 2. impersonal reviews done through a website with merit increases (these 1% to 2% increases in pay, not even matching inflation) 3. higher ups who were impossible to get ahold of and typically did not communicate well at all 4. no bonuses...oh wait, that's why we got summer fridays. On top of this, when asked about the justification for layoffs, we were told "every company is laying people off."

Aggressive restructuring and those in power lack skills to manage teams. Disorganized management, late on commissions for sales teams, massive layoffs without warning, etc. You are not taken care of here and you will constantly reminded that you can be replaced immediately. When the CEO was asked what was happening with the layoffs he replied that "people will keep getting fired and that's just how business goes..." which is true, but you don't need to say that to your employees who work for you. There is no team culture or emphasis on collaboration.
