Vantaggi

Pay and benefits are fine, it's contracting so it's a 9-5 job. Lot's of remote work.

Svantaggi

Clients are very hit or miss. It's mostly cleaning up messes with bad clients that can't retain talent vs helping build projects. I wasn't sure why I was there, they would assign me work to do and then have meetings/do work around my work but I wasn't included in on those meetings so I would have no idea what was going on. Bizarre. Lots of amateur blunders from sales/client management, there's little communication between your Improving managers and the client. You're on an island and you have to manage the account yourself. There is zero job security. They pitch themselves as always having new projects in the pipeline and it's a full time, long term, job, but that's not the reality. Perhaps the scummiest thing I saw was consultants who were coming to the end of an contract and were aware of nothing being in the pipeline would naturally go and interview. More than once, I saw these consultants get job offers only for management to tell them not to worry and how much they wanted to keep the consultant around... only for the consultant to turn down the job offer, go onto the bench, and get laid off two weeks later anyway. Management/leadership is a joke, they're straight out of Office Space. I didn't think someone could be such a deluded corporate cookie cutter pod person but then I met leadership at Improving. You're advancement/promotions is highly dependent on whether you drink the koorporate koolaid or not, your technical expertise matters exactly zero. CEO talks all about conscious capitalism, but it's a cult. He's just another corporate shill maximizing his golden parachute. This is a body-shop at best, they'll chew you up and spit you out. At least other body shops I worked at weren't a borderline cult, but management here rivals the Heaven's Gate people on their fervent loyalty. Lot's of people in top positions seems to have the same last name.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. After discussing your perspective with our leadership team, we were both saddened by some of the points raised but also grateful for the opportunity to address them and make necessary adjustments. While we acknowledge that 2023 presented its challenges, particularly in light of the uncertain economic climate, I want to emphasize that the comments regarding job security do not align with our values or approach. Our leadership team will not, nor ever will, suggest to an Improver to alter any decisions that would affect them or their families. We have always prioritized the well-being of our employees and their families above all else and firmly stand by our commitment to transparency and fairness in all personnel decisions. As with many companies navigating the post-COVID landscape, we encountered unforeseen challenges and had to make some tough decisions. However, I assure you that fostering a culture of servant leadership and collaboration remains as one of our top priorities. We view ourselves not as a hierarchy but as a unified team, where every member's voice is valued and heard. We recognize that there has been communication and engagement challenges, especially with our remote consultants. It's clear that some individuals may have felt overlooked, and for that, we sincerely apologize. Moving forward, we are committed to enhancing our efforts to ensure that all team members feel included and supported. Despite the challenges we've faced as of late, I am incredibly proud of the resilience and positivity displayed by our team. This positivity and optimism have been instrumental in our progress, even if it may have been perceived as "corporate" at times. Creating an environment where everyone feels valued and empowered to succeed is essential for the stabilization and growth of the business and our culture. Your feedback serves as insight that will guide us as we continue to evolve and improve. -Ehren Seim, President
