Racism & Sexism: The Rich Boy's Club - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Strand Associates

Whenever a job offers you free/bulk painkillers . . . you know you're in for a wild ride. The work environment is awful here, it is cliquey, gossipy, and toxic. There is no sense of community or family. There is a huge divide between the two age groups. You have the old guys and the college graduates. The college grads are recruited from 2-3 colleges and anyone who graduated from a different college is considered sub par. Career advancement is only available for white, privileged males. This workplace is not LGBTQ friendly. This workplace advertises themselves as diverse. The Madison, Wisconsin office has one black man and one asian man. The other offices are all caucasians except for the Kentucky offices. We make anyone who is slightly different than others so miserable they have to quit for the sake of their mental health. The employee turnover here is HIGH. The company lies about it by using staffing agencies to fill the gaps, not counting those temps that end up quitting. We recently lost a number of valued engineers by not allowing time for their families, non-work responsibilities, or their own health care. You need to work 6-7 years here before you are fully vested in the employee profit sharing plan which we all agree is sketchy. You lose part of your bonus if you don't donate to United Way so the company can get 100% employee participation over the holidays. 80% of the dress code in the employee handbook is dedicated to telling women exactly how to dress, how to wear their makeup, etc. This is 2021 and they don't deserve to be treated like that. I've been here for a couple years now and am exhausted dealing with these stuffed shirts and overpaid upper management.
