Pros

nice offices, parking spots are provided, occasional lunches provided, pretty good health insurance plan.

Cons

WORST LEADERSHIP ANYWHERE I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED. Total and complete micromanagement that is lead and micromanaged from the CEO himself. His temper is known throughout the industry and his grudges against employees and business counterparts are legendary. The Executives of the company enable his complete and total mistreatment of employees through their inaction and acceptance of his attitude and behavior. He is always right and although they regularly admit behind closed doors his choices are wrong they also readily admit that they would never question him or take a point in opposition to him. The board has been installed by the CEO and he has gotten rid of every indipendent Board member who has the guts to challenge him. He demands to interview every single employee and he makes every single hiring decision (except occasionally in accounting). He rewards those who never question him and always support him and he punishes and gets rid of those who do not. He uses bonuses as a weapon and a way to disparage employees he does not like and the other executives allow it to happen. He says he has never fired anyone due to market or economic reasons but that is not true, he has. He makes every single decision on who gets hired and fired. Make sure any employment agreement says what it is supposed to. The times that a handshake agreement has been made and then the employment documents say something different are numerous. It does not happen all the time but it does happen. This is also driven from the CEO's office directly.

Pros

Nothing because the cons all outweigh any of the pros

Cons

Policies are never written down and that is on purpose so there is no accountability and management can get away with anything and you can't protect yourself because nothing is written down. That includes, sick day and especially this year during Covid, any policy regarding working from home or remote. Company wide email was sent that our health and safety was their number one priority but as soon as people actually got sick and requested to work from home, you were either asked to take vacation or make it up some other day even though you are WORKING from home. But that all depended on who management has biases towards certain employees so some people are forced to take vacation, some didn't. It's a pretty toxic work environment where information is very tightly bottle necked but things get out anyway through rumors, which isn't great either. Covid really opened up my eyes to see what this company really cares about and it's never about the employees. If you're thinking about working here, please look elsewhere. It is not worth your time and emotional trauma you will inevitable go through.

Pros

The money is good but that’s about it!

Cons

I worked here on contract for a few months and realized pretty quickly I didn’t want to be here long term. Within the first couple weeks I was sent home for not being clean shaven while other guys walked around with full beards. CEO literally walks around on days he’s pissed off looking for employees to chastise. I was offered a job at the end of my contract but said no thanks!
