Pros

Some former coworkers, medical, dental, eventually paid vacation

Cons

Unpleasant and at times hostile work environment, very toxic, favoritism is apparent and blatant, bad communication within the company notably among the management group. Unrealistic expectations for existing client service and support. There were not enough employees to complete the work for existing customers. Overtime work is expected daily/weekly for salary exempt employees. Opposing or disagreeing with management ideas or presenting your own ideas is frowned upon and often resulted in punitive action. Management themselves do not adhere to their own core values. The majority of the management team were under-qualified to lead effectively and efficiently. Management made up nearly half of the company at the time. Don't let the smiles of some of the grapes remaining fool you. Behind those smiles are deceit, fraud and cover ups. They don't do well by their clients(specifically non-profits) or their employees. They often push untested, unverified and unsupportable solutions. There is no transparency. Fulfilling contractual obligation is a myth at this company. Being honorable and trustworthy in their business practices are traits they don't believe in.

Hawaii Tech Support Response
7y
We value professionalism, helpfulness, and honesty so unfortunately we did not see these traits in this former staff member. To address the cons, we urge our employees to stay within 40 hours per week and recognize those who go beyond to meet the needs of the team in career advancement. Listening to the concerns of our employees is one of our top priorities and decision making is based on industry best practices. We're sorry their opportunity with our team was unpleasant and it's unfortunate that their negative outlook led them to believe what they've written in their review. We wish them the best in their future. We’ve done our best to be professional and still wish this past employee the best.

Cons

- Expectations and instructions are often vague, leading to uncertainty around roles, priorities, and procedures - Lingering unease from past team dynamics may contribute to a sense of distrust from senior leadership - Employment Improvement Plans appear widely used but are not transparently communicated, resulting in feelings of isolation and unease among team members. Everyone is on one from what the other employees told me. - Meetings can feel unpredictable and high-stakes, adding to an ongoing atmosphere of job insecurity - Leadership frequently initiates impromptu meetings using language that can feel confrontational — such as “we need to talk” or “can you come to my office” — which may create elevated stress or confusion - While employees are expected to respond quickly to executive communications, support from leadership can be delayed or unavailable, forcing unilateral decisions with potential consequences - Key documentation is divided across multiple systems, reducing consistency and making it harder to locate up-to-date procedures - Policies and best practices are sometimes created after the fact but are enforced as if they had been long established — occasionally resulting in reprimands for actions taken before those guidelines existed.
