DataBank Holdings reviews

Upper management is very arrogant. They make you feel like your job is useless and you are disposable. They promise a lot of growth and potential in your position, they make you think that if you work hard enough, you will be promoted. Then when the job opportunity comes up that you have worked hard for, they will hire an outside person that has a connection with upper management. The CEO is appointed by the board and he only cares about acquiring as many other companies as he can so that he can sell the company for more money. There are so many VPs etc, that nobody even knows what they do, then you find out that they are just friends of the CEO. He is trying to get all of his friends a piece of the pie for when he sells the company for a ton of money. I know multiple employees that have complained and had horrible experiences with key managers in the company and they do nothing about it. Upper management does not care about employees, they only care about money. They will work their employees to the bone and get as much out of them as they can, for as little compensation as possible. Pay is NOT competitive and benefits are underwhelming.

Little to no opportunity in moving up with the company, unless you’re in the Kansas City which I have seen email promoting a few individual that are already in high position. Even as a datacenter technician you will do customer care, network operation center work but won’t get equal opportunity. Top management has been ineffective and tyrannical, forced out many good people. Company has an arrogant streak that does not reflect reality of its marginal products & service. Weak management at all location, (Dallas, TX, Kansas City, MO, Eagan and Edina, MN) and lack of communication informing data center technician about important dates. Could not afford simple tools for technician to use, some of the tech would bring their own. They could not afford simple time clock for employee to clock in and it was base on honor system. Sales team, sale engineer, GM/ DC manager, would not honest about coming into work. They do not put in the required time at the office, unless CEO, CFO, VP are coming into town. Upper management will take trip to MN location and stay for a couple days just to do an hour meeting that could be done via web conference. Company isn’t growing when they cannot get a full staff in MN location. Benefit is not good, after a couple visit to the dental clinic, stated it would cover but then later would get a payment owe because insurance decline. Some of the managers were trying to force all employees to get high deductible health plan.
