Bleeding Money - BDA PolyVista Employee Review

Launching a career here is not a resume builder Dealiing with the outsourced HR department is painful You are compensated for how busy you are, i.e. completing introductory meetings to sales leads no matter how useless you already knew that meeting was going to be because that person was not a budget holder, decision maker, influencer, or even in the right department; and not the value you bring to the company, activities including market research and qualifying leads It takes an astronomical amount of meetings for sales executives to close one deal Performance metrics are based on superstition and not on industry norms or historical data Compensation plan changes so often you will never know how much you are going to make Projects are never completed when they are planned over several days or weeks they are always abandoned Lack of coaching from senior staff, you are berated and threatened to perform at their standards but are not instructed on best practices to reach them or the advice you are given is so general that it is useless, cookie cutter advice No pricing model for the product, profit margins are non existent Anyone who has studied business can see that the PolyVista Kalamazoo office is reminiscent of ENRON. Financial stability of the company is kept secret, employees are bullied to reach unattainable sales metrics and ethics are questionable.
