No ability to grow under the original owners

Pros

There's potential for growth if owners get out of the way. Friends and family of the owners are treated very well. Decent pay and there were reasonable goals.

Cons

Failing infrastructure. No internal support. Everything operates in silos; sales must do everything to grow the company without budget or leads, new products stall until there's panic that it's a year behind. Owners constantly stalling projects especially if a cost is involved. Don't dare bring up issues. Exec mgmt is all friends and family of owners, with minimal experience outside of the company. Company history; read the Washington Post articles about the founding.

Pros

Co-workers if they stay long enough.

Cons

Absolutely unprofessional from every stand point. Supervisors are the worst part of what is a relatively easy job. Highly untrained, very rude, narcissistic and can’t lead at all! Will gaslight you when they’ve made a mistake (which is often) and blame you the first instance they can. Won’t even agree amongst each other on how to run a department. High turnover was always likely, honestly I’m surprised they’ve spent so much time employed seeing as though there’s so much proof of their incapability to lead and run a department. Can’t even train new employees well enough to even become dependable. Overall an extremely unpleasant department to work in. The worst part about the management is how they have an obnoxious superiority complex with such supremely little job knowledge or comprehension. What’s not a big deal in the grand scheme of things is dooms day for them and is always met with an absolutely tedious meeting held for so long that productivity drops just for them to make a point. Worst culture and work/life balance probably within the entire company. When people transfer they say “ We helped them transfer we didn’t need them anyways!” Just to save themselves from the embarrassment of yet another failed attempt at employee retention. Constantly get in there own way and always think they’re right and you are wrong!

Pros

The product is top of the line. You learn a lot on the job. Depending on what group you are in the work life balance can be decent. Occasional work from home days.

Cons

Management needs to listen to its employees more and think about realistic timelines for work. The work load is large but could be easily managed with some simple planning. Management acts like everything is critical, so work is rushed up front which leads to stressful days followed by really slow days later, rather than a balanced timeline. The company as a whole needs to treat its employees better and less like replaceable cogs in their machine. Office environment is void of anything that could spark joy. No art, no color, no windows.
