      Unfortunately a sinking ship

      Senior mechanical engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Nice people and very nice potential (unfortunately unexplored)

      Cons

      Bad management in driving the company into the ground. No clue on what to do. The whole operations management team left the company in the last 3 months and it seems to be a very steep spiral down. The sales team is completely out of reach with customers. The ceo is bringing all his friends from his previous company which is closing shop in the USA because they failed miserably. There are rumors now that the entire operation will be moved to Mexico, the ceo is spending much of his time down there instead interfacing with our customers here and looking for work. Very sad to see this but it is time to jump ship. With the current management team in place Cinetic won’t last long.

      Thank you for sharing your positive experience! Some of the Fives Group’s subsidiaries have experienced tremendous growth and increased demand for their products in recent months. As such, our recruitment team is working hard to bring more great people onto our team.

      Used to be great, but steer clear now.

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Nearly every job here is as simple as it gets. Most coworkers are great, friendly people

      Cons

      Everything in the shop portion of the building is covered in 30+ years of dust, dirt, grease, oil, etc. Management is clueless. So out of touch with reality and the current climate, that they're essentially pushing people out the door.

      We are sorry to hear that your time with Fives did not match your expectations and thank you for bringing these concerns to our attention. We are glad to see that you did enjoy the work culture and the people you worked with. Fives is made up of “human-sized” organizations, which allows you to get to know your co-workers and enables Fives to serve our customers with greater agility. At the same time, being part of a global group, gives each subsidiary resources and support that would otherwise be unavailable. Our Leadership and HR teams frequently assess labor market conditions to make sure that we are compensating our employees at a generous and competitive level.
