A few good coworkers can't save a sinking ship

Anonymous employee

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

A few coworkers made the place tolerable.

Cons

4 CEOs in 5 years, yikes. Round after round of mass layoffs, millions of dollars in the red. Horrible company culture, pay and benefits. Current CEO rating speaks for itself. This company is a sinking ship.
