SpotterRF would be a great place to work if management knew what they were doing. They micromanage all their employees by setting up desks in their areas and watching them complete tasks. You aren’t allowed to leave until you check in with you manager and are given permission to leave. (They usually have you stay and work more) They are also focused on making the quick buck and saving money so the development process and overall quality are severely reduced resulting in future problems. They also demand loyalty from employees but don’t show any loyalty back. (Forced to stay late, denied PTO, no raise epretty. Employees tend to fear management and don’t feel they can approach management with concerns for fear of being punished. They do not employ an HR representative so employees are left to fend forthemselves. Management is very arrogant and self centered. Company meeting are run by management to criticize the employees while management is praised for anything good that has happened. Management gets all the credit for the good while the employees are blamed for all mistakes, including when management poorly manages a project and it’s late. Management does not accept responsibility for their faults yet they pass ththe blame to those beneath them. Management demands and demands yet makes no effort to reward or recognize their employees. The President has a business management background but has no clue how to effectively run a business. In a meeting she said that the company productivity was at 60%. When asked where the number came from she said she knew because her and her husband (the CEO) had done everyone else’s jobs so they know how long things should take. Ironic because she is only in the office a couple hours a day and spends her time shopping on the internet and does not have an engineering background. And then in a later meeting has her husband validate her intelligence by saying how smart she was in college. Very petty. I would not recommend working at SpotterRF with the current management culture. Lately there has been a a lot of people leaving and I’m sure many more are looking for a new job.
Please view the employees as people and not objects. People are a resource and an expense. Asking them to spend 4 hours of time on a task so you dont have to pay $100 is demotivating and humiliating. So much loyalty is demanded yet benefits and pay aren’t even competitive. Employees have lives and families outside of work. The owners shouldn’t expect employees to have the same commitment to company that they do. Also, make quality a priority. So many projects have fallen on their face because management expedites development. They sell things before they are ready or even developed. Corners are cut and there are always bugs and issues in the field. So much money and time is lost in fixing these problems and the employees suffer. It’s worthwhile to invest in the company and employees to get a solid product.
