Toxic Environment

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

It's a job that barely pays the bills.

Cons

I worked at the home office for six very long years. This was the most toxic work environment I have ever worked in. First off the executives demand that they be treated as royalty and the lower management make sure you do. Lets talk about the staff discount. The discount is cost +10%. The executives reserve the right to exclude products from staff discount and do often. Especially at holiday time. There was no help with retirement. You can have pay diverted to a 401K, but there is absolutely no employer participation. Although after you pay for your medical insurance and meet the huge deductable there is very little left for investing. As a salaried employee you are expected to work at least a 10 hour day and the continue to work through the evening and on the weekends. The average expectation from the executive staff is 60 to 70 hours a week consistently.

Incompetent Management

Recommend
CEO approval
Business Outlook

Pros

You can get away with doing the bare minimum because none of the Managers care. Or for that matter leave there office.

Cons

No feedback. No consistency from management. All of the managers are incompetent fools, that expect associates to believe everything they say, but do not lead by example. Every good manager has left due to lack of support from the GM or Corporate.
