Javitch Block LLC

I started at Javitch Block with little knowledge regarding the type of work I was being introduced to. Immediately the manager gave me a bad vibe. The company itself I heard was great in different departments however where I worked was terrible. I was picked on by management. I was set up to get written up until I had to prove to the manager that I have been set up and she did nothing about it. I went to HR regarding this behavior and nothing was done. I was here for 8 months and at the end I was terrified to go to work. I felt like I was being watched when the manager mentioned how many times I used the restroom a day. I was scorn about dress code when others wore clothing worse than mine. The management and staff played favorites. If you were not liked you were TOLD about it. They didn't trust new hires and they didn't care about advancing you especially when you were in need of help. I ended up walking out without putting my two weeks in. I sent an email to management and HR explaining how terrible and little I felt in the company.

This is a good role for someone starting out their career, not for someone who has experience in the IT field with other companies. No growth. No direction. No salary/wage increases. Poor business ethics. Poor management. They don’t compensate for your skill set and they maximize your workload for minimal pay. I had moral conflicts working for a debt collection law firm but when they proactively go out and try to “get around” certain security vulnerabilities without spending the required money, that was a big red flag. Be very careful, the company had gigs upon gigs of PII due to their business and barely manage to cover the basics when it came to security. You can’t trust anyone there, the people that smile and tell you that you’re doing great and how important you are to the company are the same ones that stab you in the back as soon as the opportunity presents itself. 

The job is very easy expect I don't think I gained any true knowledge about what I even did for the company. I basically was a robot who drag and dropped documents all day into files for 8 hours. I also would say that  don't expect to get any real training you have to basically figure it out as you go... and what I mean by that is they will send out a mass email to the people in your team with a passive aggressive comment reminding you to do something a certain way that you didn't even know you were doing wrong because no one taught you. Other than that it is a very flexible schedule and laid back environment.

It is the worst place to work; it is filthy and desperately needs updated – cleaned, painted, office furniture and equipment. There are a few cool co-workers that I am friends with but management is the worst and I have no words for the owner.
Be ready to train yourself they don’t provide any training.
Terrible benefits and the pay is worse!
Unfortunately I cannot leave due to the flexible schedule having children, that’s how they get you to stay and work at practically minimum wage, no raises or merit raise no matter how hard you work.
No respect for their employees.
NOT A GOOD PLACE TO WORK!!


What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part was having target as a client and we received target cards,but no incentive program

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The call volume,the hold time was absolutely insane. Customers would hold as long as 2 hours. Employees were not recongnized for there hard work and custmer service skills in such a difficult roll.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Terrible and no room for growth ,no opportunities to move departments.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful and not the best work environment at all.

The job was once a  thriving company with tons of good employees. But over the last couple years the company has been through changes and not for the better such as: lowering pay, unqualified management, lack of communication, overworked underpaid employees, inconsistent enforcement of rules, just to name a few. They've also held mass layoffs throughout the years which is why employees have to play multiple roles that expect to be done the same way as it was when multiple people did the role. Constant shuffling of job responsibilities from one person to the next.

There are some incredibly kind, hardworking people at Javitch Block. People who are totally open to answering your questions, and are totally open to training new employees. 

However, some individuals in management have been given the leeway to be emotionally abusive and regularly yell and scream at more junior employees for absolutely ridiculous reasons.

This place may be good for gaining experience, but do yourself a favor and think of it as a stepping stone. Many employees do.

I worked for this company for almost two years, in each of my evaluations I was told I was the best employee on the floor but my raise would be held. The last straw for me is when my raised was held because I was outworking the employees who were there prior to me. I was responsible for training new hires who were also paid more than I was who had lied about their experience. It takes one year and three months of no calling off just to earn PTO of 5 days. Work here at your own risk

The partners do not understand how the company operates, makes promises to clients that are impossible to meet, and do not support the employees. All they care about is their bonuses. Employees are poorly paid and are expected to work well over 40 hours per week with no overtime. Benefits are awful too. Capable employees are overloaded with work while lazy employees are rewarded because they are friends with management. I would not recommend this employer. 

But expect to be under paid, don’t learn to quickly or you will do your work plus the paralegals work as well. Wasn’t offered any extra money to do their work as well, made the job not as exciting after a few months. Very unorganized and if you weren’t a favorite didn’t advance to next level. One day at end of shift I was laid off due to COVID I had no clue all day long I was gonna lose my job, that day work load was twice as much as it would be on a Monday.
