Obtaining with Avar greatly hurt this company - Project Manager Amdex Employee Review

I found Amdex to be one of the very few companies I liked working for. It was the right size that I felt a part of the company. The CEO seemed very interested in making sure the employees felt a part of the company and were informed. This trickled down to my Program Manager who was one of the best I ever had. She knew what she was doing and made sure her employees were informed. She gave everyone the personal touch. I can truly say that I was happy to go to the holiday party this company provided for its employees, unlike some other companies that I felt I would be lost in the crowd and would not be missed. It was too bad the contract ran out of money and I had to leave.

I can't think of any.

Friendly on interview. First few weeks of employment was enjoyable. Then it all went down hill..........

Leave - Company has a policy that you cannot take leave within 90 days of employment even if you already earned it! If you leave the company with unpaid vacation do not expect a penny in compensation even if you are laid off. Training - You must work a FULL YEAR before the company will permit paid training during work hours. Plus - you have to wait ANOTHER YEAR before the company agrees to pay for the training. If you leave after the 11 month you must pay 100% of the training cost back plus your days training back to the company. Dress code - Suit and tie required everyday even though customers never appeared at the office. I was formally "written up" because I wore boats to work. We had 5 inches of snow and I was one of only a few people to show up for work. I was told I needed to bring an extra pair of shoes. I was also formally "written up" because my shirt on occasion became untucked from my paints. Old Equipment - be ready to use 10 year old cheap computers with small screen while the family management had all the luxuries. Poor Management - Passive aggression is the corporate culture. You will be asked questions all day long even though the answers are known. Be prepared to be treated as a low cast in a tribal society.
