Business Outlook

Pros

The CEO has a good vision but needs to up the morale. Company has a relatively good product for a good price.

Cons

The company is too focused on cutting costs/corners in every level at the expense of its employees. Employees are constantly worried that they will be fired/laid off due to management's fear tactics. There is a lot of nepotism, favortism, and backstabbing going around. Employees that have been there for years have not seen raises. Low to zero appreciation for employees or their efforts.
