Lodestone Response
5yFirst of all, thank you for taking the time to post this feedback. The happiness and well-being of our family of employees is more important than anything else. It’s never fun to learn that an employee had a bad experience while at Lodestone. Some of the claims posted, however, are simply not true.
Lodestone is not shrinking. We have been growing steadily since day 1 and in fact we have grown more than 60% in just the last 6 months. It’s not fair to say that tons of people are leaving. We are well below the industry average turnover rate, and while we would love for everyone to stay here forever, we recognize that personal and professional needs change over time. If anyone wants to make a change for themselves, we’re more than happy to support a successful transition to a new employer.
We have never threatened legal action of any kind, regarding a non-compete agreement or otherwise. They are in line with the agreements our competitors use, and they have industry standard terms for non-compete, non-solicit and confidentiality.
All of Lodestone management has an open-door policy and we take any / all concerns raised very seriously. Our culture is a huge part of our success and the most critical aspect about how Lodestone does business. One piece of truth in this review - we do have a “club” that gives its members a fast track to growth. The only requirements to be in that club are to do good work, support your fellow employees, and have fun doing it. That club includes every Lodestone employee and we intend to keep it that way. We only wish the anonymous reviewer had voiced their opinions to someone in management prior to departure. Perhaps together we could have avoided this unpleasantness.
