Pros

Never a lack of work - stimulating environment with lots of changes. Keeps things interesting. CEO has great vision and excellent ability to articulate that to employees. He's more connected to the business than any other CEO i've worked for.

Cons

Terrible pay and absolutely no checks and balances between what executives are doing and what is "right" to do per HR/Corporate standards. Management will give you more work if you do your work well but never a pay raise. In fact, this company is known to give "title changes" without any money to go with it - they will just roll a pay increase into your cost of living increase instead (a raise you would have received anyways). Huge lack of feedback on performance and encouragement on a job well done. The management seems to do what they want in regards to compensation. There isn't a lot of opportunity for growth and no rhyme or reason to compensation based on education and experience. Very disheartening! Also, managers really do no manage anything. This company is still highly micromanaged by executives, especially when it comes to budget. They have high expectations about what they want you to accomplish but don't give you the resources to be able to manage those results.

Thank you for your feedback and your continued efforts to make Applied a world class organization. Applied puts forth significant effort into creating an environment which provides equal opportunity to all members of Team Applied, including rewarding performance under our compensation programs regardless of team member gender or other demographic considerations. In addition, as the business continues to grow we are increasing the level of accountability our leaders have, along with expanded authority, to manage their respective parts of the organization. We encourage any employee who feels there is an issue in these areas to reach out to their management, or alternatively to our HR organization. As always, I would welcome the opportunity to discuss any concerns you have directly and encourage you to reach out to me to discuss further.

Pros

The teammates that I worked with were generally really great. Decent opportunity for learning

Cons

The benefits were not great, 3 year vesting to get a 401k match, insurance was sub par, time off was below average. In addition to this the management team is having a lot of turnover along with getting rid of people systematically (or what feels targeted). This is following some acquisitions that could have been great but because the teams are all operating in silos with what feels like no cohesive direction from the senior leadership. The products that are being sold are very old feeling/looking with no real changes on the horizon. Pair this with high level executive leadership changes that are pointing to a potential sale of the company which likely will come with more changes and loss of employment.
