Pros

The general staff are nice people but few stay very long. The products are good.

Cons

CEO don't know what he doesn't know but he thinks he knows it all. Very ego driven, controlling and has major trust issues. He holds the company back from being a great company because he can't trust the senior managers that are hired to take the company to the next level. They go through staff on a regular basis...only a very select few have stayed with the company because they tell the owner what he wants to hear. Employees are not treated well or respected, poor benefits and bad culture. Very toxic place to work.

Pros

Quality of products is good but fading like the glory days Tremendous amount of growth built on the backs of some very smart people

Cons

Benefits are expensive and haven't changed CEO is opposed to paying bonuses and frequently moves the goal post to avoid paying them Advisory board is head nodding individuals who don't understand today's environment Leadership team that now is in over their heads. Overprocessed to nauseam in an effort to create busy work and claim that process will result in wins. Financially motivated, innovation deficient brand due to "single source" decision making bottlenecks. Core Ingredients apply to everyone except one person.
