The worst of the worst!

Pros

It's a job, right? And if you're unemployed, you must accept the position or you lose your unemployment. Only after you accept does the torture begin.

Cons

Treated like crap, they love to haze people. I was more experienced than anyone else in my department, but was treated like an idiot. They threatened to dock my pay when they made a bad legal decision that I warned them about. I have heard from others that worked there that their pay WAS docked for this kind of thing, which is ILLEGAL. They also insist you work overtime FOR FREE, which is also ILLEGAL. Does the NYS Department of Labor know about this? The MOST unprofessional company I've ever worked for. It's like being on Survivor, without the $1 million payout. And you volunteer to be on Survivor. If they offer you a job, RUN AWAY!!!!

Pros

Pay checks clear on time (and still do not reflect the work we do)

Cons

Racist, homophobic and sexist culture from the top down. Positive reviews are posted by supplicunts carrying water for their masters. They like to think of this place as a shark tank...it is in actuality a cess pool that attracts the exact sub human garmento scumbag personalties needed to run such an "establishment". The turn over rate speaks for itself. I was pressured by one of the owners to invest in our licensees stock. As a result, I lost thousands of dollars by following unsolicited investment guidance from the ownership. My team talked horrible crap about me, other team members and partners alike. I look forward to the IPO and all the dirty secrets this place hides coming to light.

They think they own you

Pros

None that I can think of if you're not related to the CEO and/or President

Cons

They think they own you. They have no qualms about calling any time of the day or night for matters that are sometimes very insignificant. No one in the company makes money except for the President and the CEO and their respective families who all work there at seriously inflated salaries. The general employees however rarely get raises and are mistreated. There is no HR department and if you have a grievance of any kind you have to take it to the COO who is also the in-house counsel but who also doesn't even really work for the company. She is of absolutely no help and is in fact probably one of the biggest abusers in the company.
