What I wish I could have told potential new hires - Anonymous employee AUSGAR Technologies Employee Review

Surprise pay cuts and layoffs are typical. Benefit reductions happen every year. Senior leadership has gone from questionable to unethical. Getting a new job is an exciting and sometimes stressful endeavor. If you are considering accepting employment from this company, please think long and hard before accepting. If you have only a few years of work experience or are somewhat fresh from college, I would encourage you to avoid this company. Employee welfare, training, and good management are critical for all employees and even more so for newer professionals. This company is likely to interview you for one job, and stick you into a different job on day one. This company will over sell you to the customer, then throw you to the wolves, providing little to no coaching, mentoring, and absolutely no training. The Human Resources department lacks the legitimate authority to protect you and regularly reports everything to senior leadership. Do not go to HR with a complaint, and expect any confidentiality at all. If work/life balance is important to you, then avoid this company. Management demands an all-work culture. Give anything less and they will find a suitable reason to terminate you. When you talk to the one or two employees who have been around a while and they will tell you the company used to have culture and value, but lost both somewhere along the way. Remember, when it comes to accepting a new job, this is the only time you will hold all of the cards and control. Say NO, and keep looking. Use Linked in to locate people with this company in their past work history and reach out to them. Ask questions and be sure to get everything in writing. Before you sign anything, read it carefully. There are many great companies to work for in San Diego - Ausgar is NOT one of them.
