Ultimate Exposures Reviews

The owner is a bully. You have to wait 90 days before any benefits are accrued yet you are allotted $45 a check for insurance ($100 a month) which is also a benefit? They call you at all times on your work phone. If they don't get you they call your personal cell over and over even on your days off. They tell you that Christmas is off paid BUT you actually have to work 6 and 7 day weeks in September to make up for those days (luckily I never had to do this). When 6pm hits the owner gets a kick out of asking you to do something that can't wait just ask she is leaving. You could be there until 9 or 10pm and still not be done. Pay is ridiculous. You are paid the minimum for them to make you salary. There is no respect and you are bullied for anything they don't think is the UE way. There is almost no room for growth. you can grow with the company but you will still only make $16 an hour with no paid overtime. They also hire a large amount of independent contractors, make them wear uniforms and pay them minimum wage or $10-13 an hour. Too many are available for the work that is needed and most end up on unemployment and begging to be put on jobs. They only let their favorites out on jobs unless they need more people.

This company should not be as disorganized and stressful as it is. It has been around for several years, so you would think management would figure things out by now. The president is constantly stressed out, and projects that energy onto the entire staff. She does not see value in her employees, and rarely acknowledges their accomplishments or hard work. Watch out for those weekend shifts if you are hired to work in the office, especially if you are salaried. What was described as working 6 Saturday shifts during the fall season, turned into working every Sat and Sun night for 6 weeks. This probably would have gone on longer too, but instead I did the greatest thing I could do for myself, and quit. Very high turn over rate, which says a lot about a company. The truth is the job wouldn't be that bad, but having to work with the president in such close proximity is enough to drive anyone away. If you are hired as a salaried employee, the benefits are pretty pathetic. You can accrue up to 3.5 days of vacation your first year. Seriously? It would take you 2 years before you can take a week off for vacation. The president acts on emotion, rather then reason. She turned down my 2 weeks notice because she was upset I quit, that's only going to hurt the company, especially because my position was very valuable, and not easy to replace.
