Dynamic, Fast-Paced Work Environment - Recensione dipendente - Engineer presso Utility Risk Management

Company - Over several years at URMC the work has constantly been exciting and challenging as well as being unique. The technology URMC applies has developed significantly through both the industry's and URMC's advances. The applications of this technology and business strategies at URMC have constantly evolved due to changes in regulations and opportunities in the energy market. Being able to understand these changes and discover different and unique market opportunities is what has made URMC successful in the past and will continue to give URMC success in the future. Compensation & Benefits - Salaries have and continue to be fair and competitive at all levels. The benefit package provided to all employees is very comprehensive and shows a concern and understanding to life outside of work. The Culture and Work/Life Balance at URMC has been one of my favorite aspects. URMC has developed a culture that is easy and fun to work in while still allowing employees to be efficient contributors. The Work/Life Balance has allowed many employees to pursue outside interests to their full extent.

As referenced in the Pros section, URMC's applications and business strategies have evolved throughout its existence. While this has created many successful business opportunities for the company, it has also caused the company to grow and shrink in employee size (sometimes rapidly) to meet demands. In the past, this has caused employees to be let go for non-performance related reasons and has caused added stress to management on all levels. Unpredictable growth and shrinkage has caused employees to have doubts on job security. Senior management understood this concern and would take into consideration during business decisions. Several of the employees hired to the sales team did not meet their expectations.

I made a lot of good friends

Plain and simple, this company is going to fail...again. My direct boss was great but the CEO and upper management have no idea how to run a company. The spending by the CEO and executive team is rampant and reckless and is the reason why this company will (and should) close for good soon. Hours were long and pay was sub-par at best. Promises were made and never kept. Moral was lower than inmates given multiple life sentences at a federal penitentiary. The reason everything is in the past tense is that there are only a handful of employees left, the rest have quit or been let go. The CEO will speak to you and tries to give the impression that he cares about your well being and your family but you don't have to look to hard to see the greed in his eyes and know that he does not. He prides himself on being a former military sergeant; I get the feeling he would have used his team as human shields if they ever were in a fire fight.
