Boss is a Diva Micro-Manager who hires and fires at will - Anonymous employee Alternative Strategies Employee Review

Let me make one thing clear: Don't be fooled by the nicely decorated office, William is CRAZY! Honestly, run in the other direction. He is a micro-manager that requests a weekly or daily report of every little thing you do so that he can nit pick and ask 'Why haven't you done more??' because no matter what you do, the work is never good enough. He also has this routine where he will pick one person in the office, decides he no longer likes them even though he's the one that hires them, and then makes it a point to find any mistakes so he can bring them to everyones attention (usually during the weekly meetings) until he ultimately fires them. He tries to come off as a know it all, but in reality he's just a drunk diva who speaks poorly about his employees and clients. The agency has been around for 15 years and the person who's been there the longest has only been there for 2 years. I get the industry sees rotation, but I think in the last two months alone he's hired and subsequently fired 5 people. There is no consistency there and honestly I think he takes advantage of all the young staff members who don't know any better of what it is to be treated well as an employee. Also, lets talk about how the place has more UNPAID interns than actual staff members. It's ridiculous how he gets away with having that many people doing free labor. It makes you wonder how he gets away with it, probably the same way he gets away with debt collectors calling him all the time... Compensation: don't expect much. Not only will you be underpaid, be expected to work without a real lunch break, be at his beckon call 24/7, but gas expenses won't be covered either, even though you're expected to drive to all your clients events located throughout San Diego county. I guess the only good coming out of it is that any job after this seems like heaven on earth.
