Scantron reviews about "manager"

Inexperience regional manager watch you like a hawk. Stressful on the job. Send you to do work that you know nothing about the equipment. Toxic company to work for. The worst regional manager that I ever had. Yon don't get an appreciation phone call if you leave tomorrow. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS COMPANY.

Scantron was at its prime when it was the hottest technology decades ago. Still finding other ways to be profitable , but now it’s a sinking ship internally. PE takeover in the last couple years and it’s never been the same since from what I understand. Many of the managers have an impressive tenure, but I have seen a lot of them go in a short amount of time Unbridled CEO full of hot air who excessively recycles executives, and drains the life out of managers with their erratic and illogical demands. Executives are continuously replaced until the right henchman is found. I was only there less than a year and got caught in the process of rabid reorg, apparently purging every department, and bringing in a new team to “fix it” without any understanding of what the problems are and what work is involved . Total communication blackout among senior managers and executives at a surprising level. A ton of contracting overseas to supplement workforce all across the business. There have been employee surveys introduced but they refuse to share the results of them , citing they have to protect employee anonymity, which is a straight up lie , as pretty much every other company in the world who does this is transparent about the general results and stats . Huge red flag right there. So many red flags in general.

A few good sales persons but not enough of them

Again, depending on your region, the wide variety of equipment is sometimes overwhelming. Too often you will be expected to work on something you've never seen before. You'll be lucky if you're handed the service manual and told good luck. Some equipment has bad documentation, no training available, and no technical support. If you don't mind being a warm body with a toolbag, then this job is perfect for you. Very rarely is there a feeling of accomplishment.

Management takes forever to hire employees. You end up covering multiple areas your entire career with no extra compensation. You are doing twice the work for the same salary. Once covered an area that was open for 18 months! Almost two years it took the manager to hire someone....management is the worst.

Try to get to know your possible manager as best you can prior to accepting the position. If you see a red flag... Trust yourself. There are MANY issues with Scantron/Secur-Serv but most are manageable with a decent manager. Otherwise there's is a high potential for disaster. Lots of turnover reflects this. Could be a decent place to with some changes and if you get lucky enough to live in an area with a manager you can work with. Workload can be stressful at times.
