Pros

Became 100% remote during covid. However this has apparently changed recently for some Most other employees are nice

Cons

Awful upper management - Extreme micromanagement and toxicity. The owners do not trust anyone to do their job and think that employees are not doing things properly if it’s not done their way. They constantly encourage employees to point fingers at each other, only caring about who is at fault and not fixing a problem. Owners refuse to adapt to new business practices. If anyone goes against upper managements’ opinions, they will be ostracized and made to feel less than. Constantly bash competition that’s doing better than them instead of trying to look at why they’re doing better. Management only cares about short term profit and has no long term plan. Significant turnover and upper management won’t look at how they can improve the environment to prevent people from leaving. Little opportunity to move up or increase salary. High stress, extremely toxic, and stretch employees very thin. Will make you feel awful about taking days off, even if you’re very sick. Terrible health insurance and benefits package including PTO.
