Pros

Paycheck Just about every meeting you get to hear the owner's motto. "Ready, Fire, Aim!" It's quite comical.

Cons

-No vacation time (not even sick time) for the first year. -Toxic work environment. -Management trusts nobody. -Long work days are expected. I consistently worked 7am-7pm many nights of the week. -The WORST example of leadership I have ever seen in an organization. -Yes men move up while intelligent people who offer their opinions get silenced and have their job threatened. -Supervisors monitor your EVERY move. After putting a doctors appointment on my calender and informing my supervisor two weeks prior; I received a call during the appointment to make sure I was not lying about being at the doctors. I was also told that I would need to make up the hours (after I had worked 55+ hours the previous two weeks and a 12 hour shift the day before.) -My manager told me that going to the Bathroom 5 times during a 12 hour workday was too much and that I needed to stop.

Pros

I only interviewed here and did get an initial offer. During the negotiation process they stopped responding to me after the initial offer letter. I cannot really say much about the company other than what I was exposed to during the interview process. Seemed like a somewhat laid back atmosphere. I guess that's a pro?

Cons

Disorganized at best. Dishonest at worst. They stopped responding to me after I tried to negotiate the initial offer letter. I'm not sure what happened there.

We are sorry for your interview experience with us at EMA. This was a mistake on our part and have since put procedures in place to prevent situations like this from happening to any other future employees.

Pros

- Excellent and knowledgable coworkers (for the most part)

Cons

- Lack of direction for the company, coming from the top down - Too much focus on "more product", no solutions for selling existing product lines - Inexperienced individuals being "hand picked" for directorships - No internal promotion or movement (unless someone leaves/is fired) - Refusal to "trim the fat" (Terminations are near unheard of) - No raises, no bonuses - Yearly health insurance increases (the whole increase passed to employee)
