Pros

Women run company No micro managing

Cons

Unrealistic expectations they expect perfection at the start of the position- Crazy standards-they got upset with my daughter home when she was literally just watching tv in the background-wanted me to put her in daycare ( even made a comment about it, the ceo loved to say that she had kids and put them in daycare from day 1,ridiculous ) Low pay with high work load Favoritism Honestly it was very click-y

Pros

I liked that my manager trusted me to get my work done and it was very flexible

Cons

I took a pay cut to work here in hopes of moving up quickly. That was not the case. I felt under paid and not listened to. When I said I was tapped out on the number of clients I had, I got 5+ more. I was promised training with my promotion and it was not helpful or consistent. Training constantly got cancelled. Employee turnover is outrageous here and it's hard to keep up. Everything there is a big secret, too. When people leave, no one says anything. When new people start, you have no idea what their role is.
