Pros

Very rarely are there pros working here. My experience at this company was overwhelmingly negative, primarily due to the toxic management culture that permeated every aspect of the workplace. The leadership failed to foster a supportive and respectful environment, leading to a lack of trust and communication among employees.

Cons

There was little to no recognition for hard work, and when there was, it often was a ploy for an alternative motive. Constructive feedback was often replaced with criticism, creating a demoralizing atmosphere. Additionally, the management's disregard for employee well-being resulted in high turnover rates and a pervasive sense of dissatisfaction. Despite the potential for growth and success, the toxic culture stifled any positive aspects of the job. Unfortunately, I found no pros to working here, as the detrimental impact of management overshadowed any potential benefits.

We appreciate all feedback, but we strongly disagree with the characterization you've provided. While no workplace is perfect, the claims made here do not reflect the majority of our team, many of whom have been with us for years and take pride in the work we do and the culture we've built. It's unfortunate that your perspective is so misaligned with the values we promote and the reality we've seen firsthand. We remain committed to integrity, transparency, and respect—for both our clients and our team - but false reviews from disgruntled individuals who were terminated are unfortunately part of operating any successful business.

Pros

Massages (which the managers take up almost all the time slots), kitchen with snacks (all off brand snacks that taste like cardboard)

Cons

The CEO and VPs are rarely in the office and when they are, they complain. If you are 2 minutes late you get a written warning and after 2 warnings you are fired. Policies are corrupt and even if you are a hard working employee, they will make you feel like you're worthless. Extremely racist and sexist employees.

Thanks for taking the time to review us. Sorry the snacks weren't to your liking, but thank you for confirming why you were terminated from your position. I would just add that you should probably also mention the dozens (as in more than 50) of times you were late or just called out for no reason when you were verbally warned many times prior to your 2 written warnings. We always give our staff the benefit of the doubt, we feel that everyone is an adult and should be responsible for their actions. Everyone understands that being on-time for your shift and available for work is a critical part of - well - work. Our clients demand the best, and it is our obligation to provide a level of support that mirrors that demand. You are hard working guy, no doubt, and we appreciate all you did for Strategic. But your inability to be here caused a hardship for us and it simply couldn't be permitted to continue. It was unfair to others as well who were on-time. As far as the other comments, you know they are not true. Our employees are good people, that was a snide attempt at trying to take a cheap shot at us from someone who is disgruntled over losing their job. You don't need to go there. You're a good guy and we wish you nothing but the best in your career.
