Pros
Benefits. Possibly. Few nice people.
Cons
High school mentality all around. Favoritism to certain people based on their sexual preference. I don’t care if you like the same sex. More power to you but I have an issue with this. It is still sexual discrimination. Also, veryone's willingness to through anyone under the bus. Even so-called "friends" Managers and higher up with no experience or even degrees in their field at Talley. I could go on and on but if you're currently working there you know how it is. If you are planning to work there- and want to stay prepare to be as fake as you can be and then some and get your chapstik and lips ready for the butt kissing war of your lifetime. If one does not know the word nepotism and what the "Peter Principle" is you'll learn it here. I'll also save you time and leave there definitions here. Because I know if you speak more than four syllables here a majority of the people here won't know what you're talking about. Even "Management" Go figure! Nepotism. "The practice among those with power or influence of favoring relatives or friends, especially by giving them jobs." Here you have children of others who joined Talley at startup and are basically untouchable. They got in because of their family and know it. They do not do work or treat lower co-workers like dirt. A certain person awhile back hired her GF. No conflict of interest here. Nope. Until she left. The Peter principle- "Is a concept in management theory formulated by "Laurence J. Peter" (Not a person who works here Glassdoor)in which the selection of a candidate for a position is based on the candidate's performance in their current role, rather than on abilities relevant to the intended role. Thus, employees only stop being promoted once they can no longer perform effectively, and "managers rise to the level of their incompetence." If you are here you know what this is about. Hahaha! "Hey! Have a degree as a Physical Education?! You can be manager of this department! Art Major??! You’re now the manager of this dept!! HR is not your friend. They are looking out for the well-being of the company. Not you. Actually ask marketing questions and Google is their best friend. People stay in these positions because at a real company they wouldn't last as long as here because of Nepotism and The Peter Principal. Also the hypocrisy is far off the charts here. So-called religious people cheating on the spouses or doing less severe things against their religion. I don’t care if you do less severe things but do not go throughout the company and make yourself seem like you are when in fact you are not and using company money to do things your religion forbids. Credit card bills? The big goal was a waste of time. Others who have been here long but mentally checked out and have seniority and are just cruising until retirement. No one cares about you. They just want to use you to make themselves look better and will take your credit even though a majority of them just do the bare minimum and gossip. ALL DAY, thus you have to do your share and theirs. They’ll get a raise. Will you? Nope! Do not believe the 5 star reviews below. They were written by other departments to cover themselves when they found out about the Grinder review awhile back. I’m sure this will get a few other fake reviews as well. If you need a job. Work here for a while until you find something better because you'll get paid better elsewhere, or if you have no aspirations for yourself and want to kiss arse and float by- by all means work here as long as you can fake it.
