Emerge Reviews

Multiples Lies from corporate. Upon Hiring we were promised - About 21 days PTO -Paid Holidays -Permanent position These were removed and they had us resign the offer letter, very sneaky but I learned to read everything. Day to day job changed a lot Also it turned out to be a temp position contingent on whether or not the contract would be re-signed.

To be certain, any glowing, overly positive reviews of this fly-by-night, mickey-mouse operation are posted by members of the “leadership” team housed in Rochester, New York as an attempt to counteract the realistic reviews posted by employees who live under the harsh, apathetic, unqualified, feckless rule of said “leadership.” In their infinite wisdom and true understanding and sense of fairness and employee appreciation, they began their gratuitous and never ending charade of lab rat like experiments by presenting sales goals for the year in July, despite work beginning in December of the previous year. So yes, you read that correctly, sales people had no idea what their goals were or how to earn a commission until half way through the year. But, not to worry, in order to remedy this unjust folly by management, they made the goals retroactive to December (that’s heavy sarcasm), resulting in lower commissions for not only quarters of performance already worked, but also for future quarters as well. To add a little more salt in the wound, they proposed a true-up commission plan where sales people could potentially owe money back if, management somehow deemed they had paid out too much to a salesperson in any given quarter. And yes, decided is the right language there, as they admitted to sales payouts being totally arbitrary and not tied to any actual sales plan. At no time has management ever been able to present an explainable, math-based explanation as to a commission payout, choosing instead to present quarterly payouts on a post-it note in the hallway. The role of the job changed more often the phases of the moon, from waxing crescent to humiliating job at the drop of a dime. As if the all the role and responsibility blunders aren’t enough, try doing anything HR related whatsoever. They can find a way to mess up even something as simple as a direct deposit. The CEO himself is a perfect embodiment of the organization. Leo Linder, surely a pseudonym - most likely due to a sordid criminal history - is an outright heartless, gutless liar. A more apt moniker would have been Sal Swindler. He will routinely lie to your face. Here’s a direct quote, “This new opportunity is a side of goodness, wrapped in awesome.” Nevermind the obvious unsophisticated syntax used, displaying how unrefined he is as an alleged CEO, it was one of his most memorable lies. Literally days after delivering this cheesy line, five people were fired due to a “reorganization.” I guess their side was a little more unemployment than awesome. Further, Leo Swindler routinely lies about his role in the organization to avoid answering any pressing questions. He attempts to present himself as some mid-level manager and claims business decisions are not under his purview in order to deflect answering tough questions about laying people off, providing set goals, establishing business practices, etc. I could go on for pages and pages providing examples of how pathetic this mickey mouse company is – M I C, see you in court…K E Y, why? because we have no idea what we’re doing and the only thing that outweighs our inability is how much we don’t care. This is a great opportunity for someone if you’re a career politician who lacks any real sales ability, you’ve worked in retail at the mall in your adult life, or perhaps you’re looking for material to write a modern day Office Space, otherwise do yourself, friends, family, and anyone you regularly interact with a favor and find another opportunity.
