Public interaction and seeing them happy

Review from Sales Dept

When things go right then great but when things like printers and scanners and no stickers on the boxes your supposed to pull it's frustrating cause you can't find anyone to help.

Knowing i haveva great team

When i leave because i dont feel safe at work because of the manager

Nothing after being told they may look into disaplatory actions because of faulty equipment they supply and act like that's my fault or OUR fault's!

Review from Operations Dept

good team players and work environment

Review from Sales Dept

Good leadership, creativity from the team

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

Owners need to hire the correct c- level employees. Average CEO, CIO etc works there 2-3 years. Not continuity and always changing. Very unstable

Management needs improvement in communicating with employees and as well HR.

There is no transparency with the customers. Changes are made in their orders and they aren't properly notified unless they take time out of their day to contact. The systems are not functioning at a pace that is necessary to handle the orders received.

Well maybe the company needs to be Americanize and not be ran be German standards!! Benchmark Toyota—- customer centric where also the employee is important as well. If you don’t treat employees as beneficial to your company and with respect then your company will not succee

Stop putting constant pressure on us to meet a matrix that will make our ability to serve our customers' need impossible.

Review from Customer Support Dept

Process, procedures, technology, pay and benefits

A better management team that understands salesmanship, people development, and the evolving customer experience

Review from Sales Dept

Managed people should be guided by someone that caters to both the internal and external customers!

Review from Sales Dept

Management can’t get people to stay and it is not leadership that is the issue. The wages are not competitive enough in this economy and people jump ship at the next best opportunity. After that, the strain lands on management and the loyal employees left. Everyone works twice as

Review from Operations Dept

The employee morale from managers needs to improve.

Review from Operations Dept

Corporate needs to come in and train upper management on how to properly address employees. Employees are often spoken down to and policies differ from employee to employee

Review from Operations Dept

Treat employees better management need to undergo training. We have a CS manager who walks by employees and does not acknowledge them.
