Glassdoor

I have been receiving a lot of calls for employment from employees at a competitor so I set alerts in Glassdoor to be notified when there is an update. I noticed negative reviews being deleted and positive reviews be added. A recent negative review said the company pays $500 for positive reviews. It popped up and I read it. Within 30 minutes it was removed. I was surprised both that companies pay employees to write positive reviews and that Glassdoor would so swiftly remove any review that suggests its site is less than transparent.

We posted a job on this site - paid $199 to post it. We received four applicants over the month - all of which were in different states and obviously didn't know what job they were applying for. We were charged an additional $199 (we didn't realize it was a monthly charge). I contacted them as soon as I saw the charge (within 3 days) and explained that we didn't find their service useful and didn't realize we were going to be charged. They said they would submit to manager to review for a refund and we would hear back within 24 hours - never heard back. 2 months later I asked them about the refund and they said it had been denied - no explanation. Don't post job ads here! Stick with Indeed or Craigslist - those are far better!

Glassdoor is set up to extort employers into buying their service. Whenever a bad employee separates, a bad review is posted anonymously. No matter how many current or past employees post positive reviews about their experience, they are not posted, or posted briefly and taken down. We have had our rating drop and dozens of positive reviews taken down. Reviews that show up in the feed are unprofessional, disparaging and poorly written. We cannot verify who wrote these and if they were, in fact, employees and yet, somehow, only these reviews stay up. We have reached out to Glassdoor to help us understand the process but it remains unfair and not transparent. In a word, it's extortion.

Do a job search like I did. The results displays a number at the top showing how many jobs are listed. The search number displays 1898 new jobs listed within 24 hrs. I went through and counted each one individually and there are only 102 jobs in the listing. Your app can't count?
Plus most of these jobs are posted again every day. They are not new. And most of them are not categorized correctly. Probably only a few new jobs if that.
Just like the other job app sites. They are in it to fool you and make money. There are hardly any real jobs out there. Don't feel bad about not being contacted.

They don't post your reviews unless they are positive, which makes the site a haven for scammers. I sent them a lot of evidence, in exchange they harassed me with dozens of emails for various departments, maybe you get fed up or get bored and give up. I see those who run the site as scammers as organizations that write their own positive reviews.
DO NOT rely on the advice of Glassdoor! Avoid this site.

Simply wanted to look at what employees had to say about Covenant House before I committed to uploading my information to glassdoor.com.

They relentlessly forced me over the river and through the woods; down the hall and into the sewer via the glassdoor-toilet; never allowing even a moment to see how others viewed this company first, unless and until I committed my data (and probably my first born) into their maw.

And you have a real nice day, too.

I've written a review in the past without incident. Recently I submitted a review of a company that I do contract (1099) work for. This company has recently had a spate of problems with both employees and customers. My review was not positive, but completely honest and accurate. I received an email informing me that they had reason to believe that I did not work for said company and that my review was not approved. A link was included that was supposed to help me fix the problem. There were no suggestions on how to remedy this situation. I'd really like to know how Glassdoor determines whether someone is currently working for the company they claim to be, especially when doing contract work. It seems to me that they're censoring negative reviews at the request of the employer. I've also noticed that positive reviews appear at the top of the page. It's too bad, this has been a reliable resource for people for a couple of years now. No longer.

Glassdoor lacks integrity and fact checking. Company reviewers are allowed post anything about any company. There is zero credibility here. For example, companies can pay someone to post bogus good reviews using hundreds of aliases. Conversely, Glassdoor or a competitor or a disgruntled employee can, without substantiation, post bogus negative reviews. No doubt there are likely some reviews that have some truth to them. However, given the anything goes policy of Glassdoor reviews any review is suspect in my opinion.

Glassdoor is such a scam! You should be ashamed of yourself. Most of the reviews that are being posted are employees that has done something wrong with their employer, treated their employee wrong, does not respect their managers, or think they knows everything. And employees should be ashamed of themselves posting such bad reviews as well. Glass door don't have any idea what is really going or what really happened... they should notify the company before posting the employee's reviews - ask for approval before posting it live.
And if you're the employee and not happy about the company that you are working for ---- just quit, give your two weeks notice to your employer and leave. Instead most employees, stay and complained, then when/if they finally get terminated, they go to glass door and write a bad review about their employer.

Glassdoor has an option to screen jobs based upon employment type such as full time, part time, contract, etc. When you select the "contract" type all you get back are jobs that have the word "contract" in the title. I have reported this problem twice over the past 3 months and all you get is a reply saying they are aware of the problem... and never fix it. How can one trust the other jobs being screened if this simple screen for "contract" does not work... and Glassdoor continues not to fix it.

Although Glassdoor states they do not remove poor reviews about companies I along with about 1/2 dozen other people found out differently. Myself and the others had all worked for the same company PRS and had written about our unpleasant experience's involving the company. Glassdoor had ACCEPTED these reviews. Suddenly all the negative reviews were removed with no explanation from Glassdoor. Also they all seemed to be gone within a day or 2 apart although several were months old. The Company is an involved Company meaning they often respond to the reviews written. Since they are all gone makes you wonder if Glassdoor doesn't get benefited by the Company's some how to remove the negativity. I guess the best way to perceive reviews written there would be to generally carry more weight on the negatives as a lot more could have already been gone.

So imagine you're a young jobseeker, just starting out on your journey and you are trying to learn about what employees have said about a company you are wanting to apply for. You see that glassdoor has plenty of reviews on them, but as soon as you try to view them it completely blocks you and tells you to contribute your own review in order to see them. However if you've literally never worked anywhere you cannot damn well review anywhere now can you, and therefore you cannot actually use this website, so don't even bother. I actually assume they're doing this to mine as much data as possible, otherwise they'd let you in and simply ask you to contribute your own, when you've got one, because it would be a good thing to do.

You can't do anything without signing up and reviewing. It is more annoying than Pinterest. I just want to look at one job, but no. I don't want to review.

I've been trying to publish my current salary on Glassdoor but have been going back and forth with them for 1.5 months now - without success! It's still not published due to a broken link that their engineers have not been able to fix. I wonder how long it can take these days to fix a simple broken link on their website. Both service employees I've been in contact with have been extremely unhelpful and arrogant. Very shady website and service offering.
