Cons
You will 65+ hours / week, even though there is a half day on Friday. However, most people especially those on Salary will be expected to stay all day on Friday and weekends. This causes a high turnover rate. Negotiate the best salary upfront – no cost of living increases and raises are very rare. Your annual evaluation is not used to review your salary, only to set annual goals and review the previous year. Mr. Askew works the staff to a breaking point and micromanages. You only get four Federal Holidays off. (New Year’s Day, Independence Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas Day.) The company gives you an eight hour day off for these. However, each work day is 10 hours. You’ll be forced to work late on the next Friday to “make-up” the two hours you weren’t in the office Christmas day.
