The worst company I have worked for...

Accountant

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

- employees in other departments

Cons

- below market pay - poor management decisions - managers are incompetent and can't handle stress during busy times so they lash out on staff - accounting department is extremely gossipy, there is zero professionalism - no room for growth and management does not seem to care about employees at all - no work/life balance - you potentially have to work on weekends and sometimes past midnight - very outdated accounting systems - awful benefits - management actually times your 1 hour lunch to the very second

Beware: Do NOT Work Here

Operations

Business Outlook

Pros

None that I can think of.

Cons

Everyone in the company is a liar. Bait and switch when they hire you in (change the job on you), mass exodus of people leaving. Product is sub par and always has issues, even the customers are jumping ship. I would not recommend this company to my worse enemy, it just is not worth it.
