Pros
Hired some strong employees, strong brand statement
Cons
Every process at the company is either fundamentally broken or inefficient and the leadership doesn’t want to fix anything. When employees voice problems they are punished. Innovation and diversity of all kinds is discouraged. Every team is understaffed, but the expectations for output are massive. The leadership communicates with company management on strategy and expectations once a year. There is a massive lack of communication problem between teams. There are managers who consistently have high turnover rates on their teams that continue to be employed. High performing employees are laid off without cause. Leadership assumes that all employees have the HHI demographic of their customer and therefore benefits and pay are abysmal. There is no 401K match and no formal maternity leave policy. People are often hired due to their personal relationships at the company and not because they are a good fit for the role. The office is a warehouse that is difficult to heat in winter and cool in summer. It is not properly maintained and is often infested with flies, cockroaches and mice. There is constant construction occurring during business hours inclusive of load noise and debris falling from the ceiling. The ladies bathrooms regularly loses power or has the water shut off, it not properly stocked with toilet paper and no sanitary products are provided. There are no emergency procedures in place including fire drills.
