p-value communications Reviews

Management, that the owner appointed to run her business, are horrible. It has a high school environment with cliques between grown adults. They don't treat people right and the turnover is rapid. I wouldn't waste time there's not much to gain from this company. All of the positive reviews are made my management. Pretty pathetic

Absolutely the most bizarre place I've ever worked. To start, there is a complete absence of any formal training process whatsoever, and no guidance on one's role and responsibilities other than what is outlined in the original job description. Even then, some teams essentially operate independently, and the role is different depending on the client. Instead of receiving training, new employees are expected to "be proactive" by doing independent research on their job responsibilities. If an employee doesn't put the puzzle pieces together quickly enough, they're reprimanded and threatened with a demotion. My manager, a young director who had worked for p-value since graduating from college, had no other job experience or management training. I asked her at least three times for a more in-depth training to review my exact responsibilities and goals, but each time she declined and said she would schedule something at a later date to cover those items. My weekly 1 on 1 calls with the same manager were canceled or rescheduled more often than not, so it was clear she had no interest in communicating with me. When it comes to the product quality, the work done by the company for their clients is messy and processes are severely outdated. I have years of experience, but HEAVEN FORBID if you question the efficiency of a current process or propose a new way of doing something... You're met with intense resistance, then told you have a terribly negative attitude about the "p-value way," because "this is the way it's always been done." If I were a client, I would be outraged if I found out how much time and money is wasted behind the scenes. I was even told not to worry about a particular client's budget when I showed concern for high expenses because, "they give the company (p-value) plenty of money every year." They sent 6 people onsite for a project that truly should have only needed 2. Their idea of "white glove service" is wasting hours and hours scheduling/rescheduling dinner reservations and searching for Diet Dr. Pepper when onsite for other actual scoped events. To top it all off, on the first day of my only in-person conference, I tripped and hurt my knee (a total accident). When I asked for an hour to rest, however, I was denied and told by my manager that she was “nervous I wasn’t physically able” to handle travelling for onsite meetings... Needless to say, I am happily no longer with the company.
