Pros

I really don't think the leadership is evil, I think they are ignorant, and ignorance is causing them to act evil.

Cons

If you were wondering why all the reviews for Futrend lately have been positive, where as the reviews a few months ago were mostly negative, allow me to enlighten you. Futrend recently put into place a policy that any employee posting any negative (honest) feedback about Futrend online would not only be fired, but would lose all benefits and would possibly be sued. They forced employees to sign this agreement under the threat of termination. You see, Futrend is a sinking ship, they are losing clients left and right, turnover is near 25% annually and management has no idea what they are doing. Instead of addressing the issues brought up in honest reviews, they decided to silence them with threats of force. It is absurd to think that in a free country a company thinks that censoring its employees is a good management practice. I for one will not be silenced.

Thank you for your feedback and for taking the time to write it. I am sorry to read that you feel this way, and would welcome the chance to discuss it with you in person. As we continue to move towards a professionally managed company, we are implementing infrastructure with more standard policies and procedures. We recently replaced a 10-year old agreement to ensure FUTREND can fulfill our contractual obligations to the government, especially regarding intellectual property. We hired and consulted with law firms that specialize in employment and intellectual property law. The agreement language is very standard and very fair among all government contractors (large, medium or small) for work performed within the scope of employment. FUTREND graduated out of the 8(a) program in 2015. As with any of the 1600+ graduated 8(a) companies, it is critical for us to continue to bring in new business outside of the 8(a) program. We continue to expand our work with new customers and within existing customers. Under today’s environment of severe budget cuts, it is very important for us to work together to continue to provide the top quality services to our customers. I have been working with less than a handful of individuals who have questions regarding the agreement. If you are not one of these, and would like to have a direct dialog with me, please contact me directly so that we can discuss the matter. Thank you again for your review.
