Great low level employees, but management is pitiful.

Pros

Your co-workers are very nice, everyone is pretty good at their job (this does not apply to managers, who neither do any work nor do they know what they are doing). There is a decent 401k and vacation isn't too bad. Casual dress. Half days before Christmas and Thanksgiving are also nice. Company Christmas party was usually fun, Christmas bonus was a nice touch. The appearance that the owner and senior management actually care will make you feel warm and fuzzy.

Cons

The owner and senior management don't actually care. Most of the management are in charge because at one point when the company was 30 people, they were the only person in that job function. They don't know what they are doing, aren't qualified, and certainly aren't managing anything well at all. They have been there long enough to be fully vested and the owner won't get rid of them. Prepare to do all the work, give up all of your ideas, and get no credit for anything you do. Your manager will sit in his/her office and watch the department work, then go to meetings claiming all work progress is the sole result of their skill and intelligence. Nothing could be further from the truth. The horrible management attitude comes directly from the top. In over 2 years working there, the only day the owner talked to me was the day I was hired. He never said another word to me in over 2 years. You'll quickly learn where you stand amongst the managers and senior management. You are only there to be yes men, make them money, and not to cause any difficulty. Don't be the squeaky wheel here, because they don't want to hear anything but praise and yes answers.

LCS is committed to improving our employee experience and we appreciate you sharing this feedback. We have many tools in place to promote interaction between employees and management. Some of these include regularly scheduled department meetings, new hire meeting with our President/CEO, individual touch base meetings with Human Resources, social activities, cross-functional work projects, and donuts with our President/CEO (with the sole purpose of collecting employee feedback). While we have all of these formal options in place, we encourage all of our employees to stop by and visit with any member of management at any time to share their feedback and suggestions. We are sorry you had a negative experience and wish you the best in your career.

Growing company gives opportunities

Pros

Good growth in the company. This gives good opportunities for advancement or moving to different departments. Overall laid back culture, average compensation, decent benefits.

Cons

At times the work-load can be stressful. Not hiring employees fast enough to keep up with demands. Leadership can be uneven at times. Sometimes you get different information from different managers. Not always clear who's advice or direction you should follow. (i.e. if your manager's manager asks you to do something, they may not always share it with your manager, causing confusion). Good 401K match. Profit sharing every year.

We are glad to have you! Our employees are everything to us and the reason behind our fantastic success. We love to hear the great things as well as ways we could improve! We are growing and scaling all functions of our business quickly. On average we have hired over 50 people each year for the last several years. We know everyone wants more people in the door as quickly as possible (we do too!) but it is also important to us that we are hiring the right people who will thrive in our culture and provide our customers with the best possible experience.
