Do NOT consider working here... unless you like working in fear...
Pros
Decent pay, some great co-workers, almost zero commute time for me. As long as you're not in management, you keep your head down and your opinions to yourself, you'll be mostly fine... (see Cons)
Cons
Hostile work environment due to a chauvinistic CEO. You will often here him swearing at and demoralizing his managers at the top of his lungs behind closed doors... yet, you can here it at the other end of the building. He will also kick and throw trash cans and slam keyboards on the table. No one dares to challenge or stand up to him because they don't want to lose their jobs. Salary workers must clock in/out (including lunches) along with the hourly workers and are subject to the same rules and restrictions as them... 1 minute late results in a daily email to the CEO with the names of those people (hourly and salary) along with a note in your employee file in HR. Salary workers are also expected to work the majority of federal holidays. You will be lucky to get Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Years day off as a salary worker... "Project Deadlines" seem to always magically happen at year end and..."all salary exempt workers are required to move the company forward.." (Those of you who work/worked there will get this quote!) Employee turnover is non-stop. You will see new faces (and not see old faces) every single week. I am so glad I was able to find a better job and move on with my life. Even though I value the experience and friends gained here, I am relieved that this chapter of my career is behind me.
