Steer Clear of Axim (an NV5 company) - Geospatial technician Axim Geospatial Employee Review

Where do I even start? Recently over 70 contacted workers were laid off with two weeks notice, and during those two weeks they are expected to work overtime on a grueling project to get it out the door on time. No projects are lined up for those of us like myself who are full time Axim employees so I'm expecting a furlough soon. Management is terrible and there is little to no communication from them. Pay is abysmal and not consistent among employees with the same title/experience and when employees asked for a raise to cover inflation or even the chance for pay transparency, we were pretty much laughed at. If you want a raise you are expected to go above and beyond the heavy workload that is already present, and let me be honest it's NOT worth it. There are chances to "move up" in your position but that doesn't come with any added benefits- just more work for yourself. Axim was recently acquired by NV5 and the entire acquisition process has been quite embarrassing for Axim. The first meeting all the employees had with the president of NV5 was laughable- he talked on and on about worthless stuff and answered every question with "I don't know" or something completely irrelevant. The acquisition will also bring more negatives to Axim employees than benefits, for example less paid holidays and less PTO. I might try to stick it out a year at this place (if I don't get laid off before then) but I will definitely not be staying here long.
