Proceed with Caution - Anonymous employee SAFEbuilt Employee Review

Another mass lay off recently left many without jobs because the execs and Riverside, the private equity company that owns Safebuilt, are trying to pretty this financial pig up to ready themselves for sale. Poor management and self interest have left this company in serious trouble. The layoff might have been a blessing in disguise for many. If you’re thinking about joining the company, proceed with caution. The advice if you’re still with the company or were recently hired, watch your back. A year after coming in as CEO Brad Mundt has helped drive this company into the ground, both financially and culturally. The perception is that he and some of the other execs like COO Matt Royer are simply waiting for Riverside to sell the company so they can get their huge payouts and move on, leaving the company they ruined and the employees and their families in the wake. Their business decisions are clearly short sighted, creating risk for the long term prospects of the company, impacting relationships with current clients, damaging the company’s reputation, and completely losing the respect and trust of the employees. People want to proud (or at least not ashamed) of where they work. People want to have a basic level of trust and respect in their leaders, and they want it in return. Right now this is not that place.
