Yep been there done that too. Got the tshirt and should have been given the entire sweat suit but appreciation for effort is not exactly the motto of Intelex.

RUN FOREST RUN

This company has built it's success on using people. They get what they want out of someone and than guess what they arent needed any longer. They are a group of users that wouldnt know the truth if it was staring back at them.

I always wonder how people like that sleep at night but that's their problem to deal with.

Definitely agreed about the using people part.

There are enough people in the industry who need jobs due to downsizing so they are in position to do this to people.

If you are desparate for a job and can take alot of abuse than guess this is the place to be.

For those of us who are not desparate and have talents to offer an employer, we don't have to stay in an environment like this.

I'm a former AT&T employee that was laid off. I just got a call from an employment agency who saw my resume on Monster.com. The job their scouting is for Intelex in Carmel, IN. After reading these postings, I'm wondering if I should even pursue an interview.

Can you offer any details on how they treat their employees?

Any info would be greatly apprectiated!

Thanks!

Lynn

You mean how they hire people let them work a few months promise them it's "long term" employment and than lay them off the minute they come off of an installation. No notice, no severance, no reference, no nothing.

Or how the VP of Finance just one day decides she doesnt like her admin anymore and starts advertising her job around before she even "terminates" her.

Or how if you look at any job board you will see hundreds of ex-intelex employees?

Or how nobody on the staff trusts management?

yes, you will find a few people with longevity at the company but the reasons are many. One of them is a VP and he has been w/ the company several years. He worked his way up from a tech, no college education, no business being in the position he is in, but he has his head very far up somewhere to keep his job. He does whatever he is told, right or wrong as long as the President makes money, etc.

No job is safe or long term. There are a few people who just go with the flow so they have stayed. It is a place where they encourage you to speak up but if you speak up for what is considered to be the wrong reason you are on your way out the door.

If you make one mistake and get on the "list" you can't get off of it. Benefits aren't that great and environment is a sweat shop....

Have I answered your question?

Beware Safari Solutions recruiting for Intelex. They are getting paid to get people in there so doubt you will get the real picture. I got a line of stuff from them and than I found ex employees to give me the real scoop.

A local head hunter has talked to me about an opening at Intelex for an Account Manager. What position did you have? How was the pay and vacation time. How do they treat their sales reps?

it doesnt matter what position you are in, you are MICROMANAGED and it's a sweat shop. I am sure the recruiter is giving you the story that management is giving them, but it is not a good place to work, the opportunity available is very limited and the benefits, hours, etc. are NOT worth it.

I hope you don't have a family or anyone you want to spend time with as that wont happen. Yes they do offer vacation time, etc. but it's really hard to have the opportunity to take it. Hope you don't ever have any issue where you need to take time off as the company is not very supportive of any employee that needs to take care of pressing family/personal issues.

Employees dont trust management and the company is currently looking for investors so there will probably be a major shake up depending on who the investors end up being.

I guess the profit sharing plan and the extra large bonus checks every employee had access to receive didn't mean much. Or maybe it's just the non-performers who have issues with Intelex. If you do what you say you are going to do and what is expected of you, the rewards are numerous!

That's rich.

So now it's okay to pay people a bonus and include them in a profit sharing plan so you can expect them to give up their entire life for the company? Lose their integrity, etc.. Not that the employees arent talking about the amount of vacation that upper management takes? Which is absolutely ridiculous. Anywhere I've been in my past the VPs werent gone every other week on "personal" business.

It's okay for a PM to sleep with an employee and have it well known around the company? This PM gets a label as super stud and it's swept under the rug? What is that? Nice integrity and ethics in the company. There is a strict policy on this type of activity but policies are followed when management feels like it or for certain people only.

Employees do talk and they don't trust management. They also do discuss salaries and it was well known that the people who work for the finance side of the house are lucky to eek by with the little cost of living raise while the PM's are getting nice fat raises.

There was also an employee who bragged about his raise when he was leaving the company? Another one who bragged about the fact he gets big raises because his wife stays at home so he needs it more?????????? Ok that's really fair.

The turnover rate is way higher than the average so let's not start a discussion over poor performance or lack of training, ridiculous expectations, etc.

Interesting that people are labeled as non-performers when they arent happy about the lack of integrity and fair treatment at the company. But how can anyone trust management when they hear management say things about other employees in front of other employees. Sounds like a double standard. When is it ever okay for management to downgrade an employee in front of another one when the employee isnt there to defend themselves?

When is it okay to just decide people have served their usefulness and lead them to believe they will have a job when they won't?

While I am still at Intelex I don't plan to be long. I am interviewing and funny enough the company I'm interviewing with supposedly interviewed several current employees of Intelex including management personnel so I'm not the only one who notices and hears what's really going on.

I can sympathize with someone taking a job when it's offered to make ends meet or to catch back up, but that excitement will be short lived once things are financially okay with you and you realize that there are more important things in life. It's interesting that some people leave right at 5 and are treated like royalty while others try to work somewhat normal hours and are chastized for wanting to have a life. I don't understand that thinking.

Read up on some things..Generally people who are happy at home and have a home life make more productive employees.

In case you havent heard money is NOT what makes people happy as I am pretty sure you have all heard of golden handcuffs.

Just an outsider here.....but if its that bad, why don't you simply confront your boss or the board of directors with this concern, or better yet, just find a new job? The job market is fair with individuals with the skills, so do something about it or jump ship...just my opinion.

You mean like trying to let people know that a project manager was sleeping w/ another employee, but that was acceptable because he was on the favorites list? Someone files a harrassment claim and gets moved to another dept and than ushered out of the company for a very lame reason..... (because the filer wasnt on the favorites list). Ummm read your employee handbook it lists fraternization as grounds for "immediate" termination not oh let's see you are on our favorites list so it's okay because youre a stud.... this same person keeps bragging about how he's going to make the Asst Ops Director position obsolete, which is MAJOR gossip which is why several people have been ushered out of the company but he's on the favorites list so he once again dodges the bullet..... Good grief people all employees want to see is fairness across the board, not a set of different standards applied to each dept........

I really wish that someone would file a lawsuit and than have everyone hop on to file a class action. The whole sorted affair is just sickening...........

Another employee kicked to the curb.

After spending 90+ days working with Intelex, I was called into the HR's office and informed that management had decided that I was not a fit for the company. That I don't play well with others... that complaints by both co-workers and customers where made about me..... but ask what the complaints where and who logged them and no responce will be given. Yes I got upset that another employee logged me off a program that was needed to be used by me for the position I held. No, I wasn't to get upset as a matter of fact I was told to smile and say "thank you for logging me out of the program." I was told that I take things too personal... Well, maybe I do take it personal when a co-worker gets on the computer I am to use and does things that I would be held responciable for.... wouldn't you? Is that like saying... "Go ahead F my job up" and doing it with a smile on my face.

The owner of Intelex has no real clue what the hell is going on there, how management is using employee's ideals to make them a stronger company then kicking the employee out the door when management feels like it....How a person who works there better not have a back bone, speak their mind, or show that they are not stupid.

If you are thinking about applying, been head hunted, or even called by a temp company to work there... STOP. DO NOT BELIEVE ALL THE SUNSHINE THAT IS GIVEN TO YOU ABOUT INTELEX. Intelex will screw you over in the long run, unless you can kiss ass, or get the blessings of being in the click and even being in the click doesn't really help you because alls it takes is for you to do as you are told, follow their policies, work your ass off and yeap... you too will get that call saying "Can you come to my office for a minute." and trust me, you will not be allowed to go get YOUR own personal items..... When mine was packed up for me, a pencil holder was over looked, now mind you its not the fact of the pencil holder, but the fact that I was told to call if anything was missed. I did and was sent right to voice mail and of course no return call was given to me....

BEWARE OF INTELEX! INTELEX is unfair, bais, and uses the employees and Business Partners. I am searching and will find away of getting the message out. Guess Intelex will see just how much "I don't play well with others."
