Company Review SMT - Administrative Assistant/Receptionist Sierra Microwave Technology Employee Review

Georgetown is a beautiful and growing city with affordable housing. It's also relatively close to Austin where there's tons of cultural events and festivals.

Can I rate zero? It’s tolerable when management curses at the staff with a raised voice. However, the screaming, name calling, blaming, and demeaning behavior is intolerable and unprofessional. For example, the CEO will scream “THAT’S STUPID, STUPID, STUPID!!” and “I’M GOING TO KILL YOU” over something insignificant and easily fixable. He will sweet talk a client in one room, then yell at his staff in the other with the doors wide open. He thinks he can get away with anything including washing his hands in the restroom which I personally witnessed. His textbook bully behavior has led to management focusing on blame rather than solutions when issues arise. It has also led to an incompetent, unqualified and desperate staff who is fearful of termination, including HR who won’t do anything about it. Two staff members admitted to going to the hospital for increased blood pressure directly related to this hostile work environment. But they’ll never come forward for obvious reasons.

Good people to work with except President of company. Good location.

President is always cussing out employees and staff. I witnessed him even telling customers that if they didn't like how he was doing something, they could leave and find someone else for their business. Morale very low and over 20 people quit during the short time I worked there. Tells people how stupid they are. Low pay and very hostile work environment. Only heard about him giving raises to people about to quit that he wanted to stay. Some left anyway. Would not recommend this job to my worst enemy. Had to leave because I could not work in that environment. Worst job in my 40+ years in the workforce.
