Specific to Hosting Group - Special July Base Pay Increases Given to "Select Employees"
Pros
- Smart, technically savvy people to work with - Good On-Boarding start up Base Salary – be sure to negotiate a good entry salary or regret it later. - Good Bonus - 3 weeks vacation to start
Cons
- Management has just given (July, 2010) special base pay increases (averaging 6-9%) to "Select Employees" in order to circumvent the growing attrition rate in the Hosting group. This is yet another example of Management's deceptive backroom dealings with the Cap. employees. - By doing so, they are insulting the other employees who haven't seen an increase in 3-5 years. - Guess they really do have the money to spread around and the economy has nothing to do with it. - They bring in millions in new engagements and cry poor to the employees. - Senior Management is only focused on their own paychecks and could care less about their subordinates. - HR/Senior Exec Team denotes "Sales Contributions" as the #1 performance indicator in MVP to keep the masses down at overall "3" levels. Not everyone is directly connected to Sales(We're sure you already knew that - jokes on us, right?) In fact, most people in Hosting have no connection to sales whatsoever except for the VPs($250k av). And that's where most of the group's compensation goes. Foundational, Transformational, Overall??? WTF??? - Note to HR: This borders on employee harassment. Can I pay someone to fill out my Mid-Year Performance Review?
