Pros

They are making honest efforts to improve their culture through a couple of new hires in management. I moved on before these hires were implemented, but I have heard they are an astronomical improvement. Contrary to some complaints, pay is probably above average for the area for most positions.

Cons

Extremely toxic and emotionally draining atmosphere. There is no sense of confidentiality amongst coworkers and some management. Managers will publicly humiliate their employees with absolutely no backlash. There is an apparent “blame culture” problem, which causes employees to throw each other under the bus to avoid extreme backlash over minor mistakes or simple miscommunications. There is no job security, you could be doted on one day and dismissed the next.

Pros

Interesting industry, some nice coworkers

Cons

Disrespected, public humiliation attempts by owner, getting screamed and cussed at, walking on eggshells as to not upset the childish CEO who quite literally stomps the ground and yells at anyone in front of him when he doesn’t get his way. Correcting misinformation and rumor spread by nepobaby-esque front office. Incredible level of manipulation and gaslighting shown to employees. They will tell you one thing and do another. No raises unless negotiated upon hire. Promised me bonus, but only paid it once.
