Most of the co-workers are great fun to work with. Sometimes the owner can be care free and fun.
Cons
Nepotism runs rampant! The place is divided, there are those people over there and the people over here type attitude, communication between the departments is rare. Many times the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. I assume you worked for Opensoft on the team that serviced OvernightPrints.com's software development needs?
Management has taken comments like yours very seriously and is working to remedy the compartmentalized culture that evolved without anyone being aware that it had happened. We now have company-wide events (barbecues, bowling, pot lucks) that bring employees together from all departments, where software devs get to know customer service reps get to know accountants. It is making a difference in our work environment.
Wishing you the best in your new position.
CEO/owner is reckless and verbally abusive. Unrealistic goals and timetables. Everyone in my work center hates the job and place. Half of the "ideas" Brett has are already being done elsewhere and done better.
Teamwork was great. Relaxed environment. Free Soda! Free lunches often. Great Benefit packages.
Cons
CEO is a raving lunatic at times. Screams at the top of his lungs when things don't go his way. extremely stressful interactions with him.

Thank you for taking the time to post regarding your experience while working at Opensoft. We do value input from employees, both former and current, as it's the only way we can grow and improve.
We're sorry you felt stressed when dealing with our CEO. I've sat in on meetings myself where everyone in the room grows very impassioned regarding the topic at hand. We encourage strong personalities and strong opinions. While we do not tolerate verbal abuse by anyone in the company, we do not discourage loud debates and disagreements, as long as the passion stays focused on the ideas being debated and does not take the form of personal attacks.
We sincerely hope you have found an employer that grants you the teamwork you clearly liked at Opensoft, together with a less passionate work environment. Best of luck as you grow in your career.
