account - Anonymous employee Entrust (Houston) Employee Review

Excellent working conditions. New state of the art building. Great location. Free parking. Free coffee and other breakfast drinks. Great break room, 2 refrigerators, clean and roomy. 37 1/2 hour work week. Casual dress during the hot summer months, business casual the rest of the year. Generous holiday schedule, generous vacation, sick and personnel - converting to PTO Bank in 2017. Free health benefits for employees. Excellent voluntary benefits with very low rates. FSLA, 401k. Family environment. Wonderful holiday parties and special events. Our 2017 Calendar is going to be filled with what I call - FUN DAYS! Celebrating things like National Ice Cream Day, National Apple Day, etc. We acknowledge Veterans and their service, we celebrate engagements, weddings, graduations, birthdays and anniversaries. We have shared Memorials for coworkers we have lost. We are a professional family. Learning our Industry and then how Entrust executes best practices does take time. But once learned your talents and skills will be evident and the appropriate opportunities may come. I find that we have to work to make ourselves "promotable". I used to ask employees, "what have you done to get ready for a promotion? Did you take on extra projects? Are you a team player? Do you come to work with a can-do attitude?" Opportunities will come to those ready for them. I started at Entrust as an Administrative Assistant, promoted to Marketing Assistant, then to Compliance Coordinator, then I became the Director of Account Manager. It doesn't happen overnight but it does happen with regularity. All companies try to make great hiring decisions; but as we know there are no guarantees. Just as when an employee accepts a position - until you are there - doing the work you may not know if it is right for you. Everyone tries their to minimize hiring mistakes; but they do happen. We thank you and wish you much success in your future.
