Pros

Employees are extremely nice and enjoyable to work with. A small company so the work you do is pretty impactful. There is a decent budget to work with including some large software tools you wouldn't expect to have access to. They have some good, big-named companies as clients.

Cons

The company makes most of it's money off of being a print house. The other "products/services" they offer are hard to sell and nothing to write home about. Some of their services are even outsourced to other companies. They appear bigger than they are with one IT guy working on all client needs. Benefits are poor . You must work there 6 years for a 401k match. Healthcare is through a small, unheard of company. PTO/vacation is minimal and working from home is not an option. It's definitely a boys club with management changing things on a dime. I've never worked for a company with poorer communication. They just decide they don't like something last minute (even if previously approved) and there goes your plans. Forget about a PIP (performance improvement plan). If you do something wrong you might get fired. Formal warnings or reviews are not always done, especially since there is no HR staff member to ensure the company operates ethically or legally. They've fired multiple employees, without warning, to bring in other staff. It's a little disturbing how desensitized current employees are about turnover.

Strata Company Response

Hi there, we appreciate your feedback - we're a growing company with a lot of amazing people working together to bring value to our clients; I'm glad you felt that you were able to play a significant role in that. I agree that as the company grows, communication is key and improving it is one of our highest priorities. We have some great internal initiatives working to improve this at this very moment. Some of the information in your review however, is incorrect so I wanted to clear things up.We place the utmost value in our employees who are the very heart of Strata. We have not fired ten employees in the past two years, and none without substantial consideration, discussion and reason. Per your statement on our benefits, our healthcare provider has not changed in the past 3 years and is the largest healthcare provider in the US (United Health Group). We also match 401K after 3 months of employment, not 6 years. Lastly, we would not be able to build the amazing technology we have with a single "IT guy" - our IT department is robust and employs 6 to 10 people at any given time and always has the auxiliary support of other departments within the organization. We wish you the best of luck at your next employment opportunity.
