Working at Atkinson-Baker in Glendale, CA: 5 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Glendale, CA Area

"I have worked here for several years, and working here has been a good experience. I enjoy solving problems and enjoy the challenges of my job."

"This company has been a good place to work. The people are friendly and for the most part care about the company. The management is also good. They listen and always are striving for improvements. If you are a hard worker, there is room for growth."

"Great company to work for, nice office space, friendly employees."

"Horrible company. Micromanagement by a horde of unneeded, incompetent middle managers. Terrible HR department -- they exist solely to write you up for supposed policy violations (they don't even follow their own policies half the time) and take management's side in employee complaints/disputes. Constant harassment by bored superiors, lousy pay, 10 days per year accrued days off -- no separate sick leave (you have to use vacation days if you're sick and you can't go over 10). Expensive benefits that lower level employees can't afford. Run more like a factory than an office -- there is a daily quota that must be met, and it increases weekly even though management offers 1) no incentive and 2) no tools to increase efficiency or productivity. Most management hasn't even been through business school, much less any business training -- they got their jobs through their connections to Scientology and just kept getting promoted until they landed a management position. Massive employee turnover, lowest morale I've ever seen. Just a horrible, dark place run by inept, mean people. Stay away."

"Non-Scientologists need not apply!"
