ENGIE reviews

When I say that I could make more money working as a dishwasher in a local restaurant please understand that's not an exaggeration or an insult to kitchen staff. I verified that current job listings for entry level positions at local business's have higher pay scales than what I make now. Which, considering I have well over five years experience working for the company, do not hold an entry level position, and have been told multiple times by leadership that I'm one of their most valuable employees, should indicate precisely how unequitable the pay is. And to be clear, I had to counter aggressively in order to get the pay I have now. The company had every intention of paying less.

To say the company is disfunctional is an understatement. Let's start with Leadership as the number one reason. The CEO is as hands-off as they come. You rarely hear from him and when you do there is nothing motivating about his speeches. The next level down doesn't know how to lead or communicate a proper strategy. Mid-level management is then left to create their own strategies after not getting direction from C-level execs. Each of the divisions then creates their own goals as they fend for themselves, instead of working to align with the overall mission across the org. There is too much work for the number of employees to make a big impact. Then you have long-tenured employees leaving for higher pay, while leadership does nothing to keep those that remain, creating a high attrition rate. Not to mention the most recent layoff is creating heavier workloads and an even greater morale issue for those left behind. The company tends to restructure every year so you never feel stable.
