InVue

The company is from Charlotte NC and looks like a great place to work for but the new Phoenix warehouse does not hold the same values. Managers are to demanding & dont communicate with you.Lack of tranning for your postion.I started in December hired on for inventory lead but was doing production lead as well. Multitasking both postions while still trying to learn the ins & out of the postion they hired you for. You hardly know your position but still have to train new temps employees of there postion.Crazy!! Plus unloading a shipping container every week filled to the top that has to be manually unloaded by hand & shows up whenever. No type of scheduling. Old system As400 with a lot hand written paper work to track inventory. No talking in the warehouse with others has a prison feel to it. Lots of temps workers in & out all the time beacause of the environment .Manager's are always pointing out your mistakes & putting you down constantly. Funny they act all business like when someone comes from cooperate but when they leave its back to there ways. I was always on time everyday and never missed a day and they still let me go. I have never been treated in this way before.

It would be very hard to find a culture as open and honest as InVue's. Our owners and leaders are transparent, accessible, and approachable. I greatly value this.

The people I work with are passionate and energetic. It is very important to me that this is the case. I enjoy being surrounded by highly competent people who are driven to win and committed to growing the business.

I appreciate that I am expected to make a pragmatic impact on the business every day. We don't do things here to be or to appear busy. We do things because they matter. And if they cease to matter, we quickly correct and do something else.

Also, I like the fact that people here see themselves as part of something being than themselves. If you are mostly looking to climb a ladder and progress up the ranks of a company by any means possible, you will not find yourself at home here. But if you are looking to making a business successful and to reap the rewards of having your fingerprints on that success, you may fit in.

InVue Security Products is a great place to work. The environment is very friendly and laid back. Since it is a relatively smaller company, everyone knows each other and there is a lot of cross-department meetings and interaction. InVue is a very fast paced environment. The company is always on top of the latest technology and the products are constantly updated. This makes it challenging because there is a lot of new information to stay on top of. Due to the fast paced environment, the workload is heavy and there is always plenty to do. InVue customers are some of the largest in the electronic industry and they can be very demanding of what they need. Their timelines are tight and they have hi expectations, but it is very rewarding when you can deliver and meet these expectations. InVue goes above and beyond to make their employees feel appreciated. Some of the things that they do is provide lunches, have cookouts, ice cream socials, happy hours, messages just to name a few. Each department has a team outing twice a year to have a day away from the office. Drinks are always free and there is even a ping pong table.

I worked for the company for 7 months, the first week wasn’t bad but after I started to get trained in other things old workers there felt they needed to down talk you and make you feel unwanted, managers were notified and even knew of the issues at hand but didn’t little to nothing in regards of it. I wasn’t able to move up anywhere given that those people were in the way so I couldn’t be trained into that field of work, the managers stick to people they like and stick to favoritism and will do everything to make you look bad and even flat out train you the wrong way in hope you fail. I literally spent most of my days walking on egg shells bc you couldn’t say or do anything right at all. Ultimately I found a better job since I could never feel welcomed. I ultimately was let go for “stealing” an Aflac football that was given to a co worker for answer a question and they didn’t want I even asked that person if I could keep it just to me told on me that I was stealing it from them. Flat out there’s no room for grown or any expansion at this place you’re stuck in the position you’re in and get blamed for things you do that were taught to you or shown that way to do. Steer clear from here I promise you’ll not regret it.

InVue has complex, challenging projects that require agility and flexibility. The projects are engaging and tap into my natural problem solving curiosity. In addition InVue provides the resources needed (e.g. 3D printing, machine shop, test equipment, laptop). The work/life balance is great especially for the industry and area. Management consistently monitors the employees for improvements and suggestions on how to make life better. There's really fun activities and celebrations that the employees and management really get behind so it's a fun working environment (e.g. food trucks, competitions, great prizes). The hardest part of the job is pushing myself to juggle rapidly evolving requirements or multiple projects with aggressive timelines. Great communication is required to be able to keep up and stay effective.

Micromanagement gone bad. Managers use fear, intimidation, and will outright lie about you and to you.

Company has unrealistic growth expectations of over 20% per year and if the company doesn't hit it, the blame game begins and people are fired for no reason. Personally watched several really good people get fired so their manager could justify their position.

Any one responsible for customer service, sales, product management, or inventory management are miserable. Most keep their heads buried in their desk and try not to do more than is necessary.

Finally, if you want any type of life with your family InVue is not for you. If you are not early to the office and don't stay late you are not "committed" to the company or willing to "sacrifice" which means small pay raises if any, no advancement, and possibly letting you go. I knew CSR's that would 70+ hour weeks and it still wasn't enough.

I have been working at InVue full-time

Pros

They pay well but trust me, its not worth it

Cons

Management that intimidates, degrades, and micromanages like nothing I have ever experienced before.
Managers will actually call people/customers to verify your reports.
You spend your days walking around on egg shells praying you don't miss something or say something wrong.
Morale is so unhealthy most people just bury their heads in their desks. Its a toxic environment that drains the life out …

Advice to Management

All you are doing is driving great people out of the company, killing productivity, and extinguishing the fire to achieve. The micro-management is out of control and is destroying the company. You want to grow by 20% every year in a market that is shrinking and playing "big brother" every day to highly trained professionals doesn't make them want to get up in the morning and sacrifice for you.

To be perfectly honest, I was nervous about the workplace culture when I went through my interview process. I had just been laid off from a fully remote position and I was concerned about the stringent-sounding nature of the office environment. I've now been with the company for just under a year and I can say with complete honesty that I love my job. My team works hard, manages a lot but is very often seen and praised for the work we churn out. The hours of focus to get a project done and push the company forward are always noticed by management and/or leadership. I have an incredible mentor in my manager and I've learned way more than I thought I would in this position. I often feel excitedly anxious for my tasks because they are often stretching me past what I previously thought I could handle and help me to grow as an employee who wants to move up in my career path.

The work environment has become toxic. The new VP of Operations struggles to make decisions and frequently fails to advocate for his team, which allows other executives to override operational concerns. There is a pattern of sudden terminations and disciplinary actions that feel punitive and have created fear among staff here is a pattern of sudden terminations and disciplinary actions that feel punitive and have created fear among staff — people are reluctant to speak up or escalate problems. HR often appears to side with leadership rather than investigating employee concerns impartially, making it difficult to resolve issues. The ceo used to be so engaged now is absent in any operations or connecting with employees.



InVue started as a fantastic company. Strong product, innovation, and a category leader. In almost 5 years, I watched the company culture disappear and a revolving door of talent. 95% of the people I worked with were gone by the time I left. Management let great people walk while hiring sub par replacements. The culture eroded completely and you wouldn't even hear the CEO mention them anymore and become very distant from the business.
