Stay Away - Disorganized and Unprofessional

Pros

Working from home was nice before they reduced it, tech reimbursement was nice before they took it away, health insurance was good before substantial premium increases. So many people quit so fast, so you can get fast promotions. I guess that’s a pro?

Cons

Leadership here is a total mess. Key members of leadership love to push their titles around which they are not qualified to have while ruling with an iron fist. After 2 solid tech managers quit within 6 months, all 3 departments now fall under 1 overworked person. “Battlefield promotions” is what we call it around here. Family employees are given preferential treatment, where regular employees would be fired if they made the same mistakes. Documentation of clients is a mess and makes daily work harder than it needs to be. Seems like there is always a fire drill due to poor planning. Company expects salary employees to work extra hours, but not allow any comp time during the week. PTO requests are always made to feel like the company is doing you a favor. Good employees here have left after short times when they realized that they were sales pitched during their interviews and promises never come true. Company moves the goal post on “RFD” bonuses (real f’ing dollar, how appropriate of the company to come up with this phrase). Company does not know how to stick to business deadlines. Company keeps selling to problematic clients because they can’t close sales deals on new quality clients. This causes a lot of internal stress. Layoffs are on the horizon so a lot of us are searching for new jobs. Office building parking is horrible, ants crawl over desks / kitchen area, cleaning crew doesn’t clean bathrooms well, and temperatures are kept cold in the winter and hot in the summer. Company can’t afford to run heat and AC?

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on your experience at Aqueity, we appreciate your feedback and are saddened that your experience wasn’t what you hoped it would be. We understand that leadership is a vital aspect of any organization and are committed to ensuring that our leaders are qualified and capable of managing their respective departments. We are also aware that documentation is an essential part of daily work, and we are committed to continuous improvement to make it more efficient. Related to the tech allowance program, the reviewer failed to mention Aqueity replaced this program with a more comprehensive benefits menu program which allows each team member to pick a plan that best fits their lifestyle. This program has been very well received by our team and the value of each of the benefit menu categories is 400% greater than the tech only program, and the new program still includes a tech allowance option. Aqueity takes tremendous pride in the cleanliness of our facilities and constantly receive positive feedback related to our office environment. We encourage anyone to stop by our office and see for themselves. As for HVAC, this is a struggle for any workplace, what is warm for one person is cold for another. Aqueity tries to maintain an office year-round temperature between 72-74 degrees. Aqueity’s culture is one of work hard and play hard, and our team loves hearing about experiences outside of work. We are sorry to hear the reviewer didn’t feel this, and their feedback gives Aqueity an opportunity to ensure others do not feel the same as this is counter to our culture. Aqueity offers an industry competitive PTO program and strongly encourages our team to take time off to enjoy life outside of work. We are committed to ensuring that all employees are treated fairly and with respect and dignity, and we take all feedback seriously and thank you for your contribution towards this goal.

Pros

Great place to learn a lot of different things. Good folks working here. Good place to learn about managed services for small clients. Management cares about making the client happy.

Cons

Small clients, constant client churn, always a fire, no pro-activity. Management doesnt care about your personal life, family, etc. It seems like they do at first, but they really dont.

Glassdoor states that you have worked for Aqueity for “More than 3 years” however your review is titled as “Short term”, this seems contradictory. Glad to hear you appreciate the team and experienced firsthand that Aqueity takes pride in creating raving fan clients. Most of our team compliments us on our continual investment both personally and professionally, so declaring that management doesn’t care about your personal life, is a strong sweeping statement and we are sorry you felt that way. Addressing the accusation that Aqueity is posting fake reviews is simply not true. We do encourage our team to tell others why the love working at Aqueity and to include areas we need to improve upon.

Wreckless Leadership

Pros

Health Insurance was pretty good.

Cons

Leadership style is that of an autocratic dictatorship and one that refuses to have their ideologies challenged, no growth, gossip, good ole' boys club either you're in or you're not.

The Covid pandemic thrusted Aqueity into uncharted territory and decisions had to be made quickly and efficiently. Unfortunately, these decisions affected his employment and most likely led to the autocratic vibe he felt. To help soften the transition, Aqueity made several introductions to help this former employee find future employment. Constructive feedback is appreciated and there are takeaways in this review that helped to make Aqueity a better company today!
