Cal Net Technology Group Reviews

Slimy sales force will promise anything to get the sale. It is then up to us to make everything work and deal with the client when they get upset. We are told to tell the client that it is in the contract they signed. All problems are blamed on the engineer who is promptly replaced and then the cycle repeats. Management takes no responsibility and is only concerned with the next company they can rip off. We are told to offer solutions that cost more, are not the best and make calnet the most money. We are told to push products that have the largest margin and say they are better products. We are then paid pennies for commissions. We are told to keep the client happy and in many cases we have to work for free, meaning calnet doesn't pay us, to do so. Everything is rigged to screw the employee so management can make the most money. Working non-billable hours is a requirement of the job. Turn over is very high except for the lifers who have found their way into managment. Un-taxed bonuses are also given out to the most popular employees on a monthly basis. This is suppose to boost moral and say you to could make extra money if you only work harder. These awards are otherwise useless. The lifers have them strung around their offices in some morbid contest.

No real company growth or direction, Sales management team is horrific (promising things and expecting the Delivery team to "find a way"). The pay is sub-par for most of the industry, with escalating responsibilities and no ability to actually be responsible (but accept all the blame). Many in senior management are more concerned with popularity contests than job competency (poor employees sometimes last years). Clinging to an outdated model (small business on-site consulting) that's in decline.
