Would Rather Post Fake Reviews than Fix TOXIC culture

Pros

I truly struggle to think of pros

Cons

1. The CEO is totally paranoid and views everyone and everything under a microscope. He sends shockwaves of stress throughout the entire organization 2. Benefits are really quite bad...especially for seasoned professionals 3. Posts tons of FAKE reviews...pretty sure this company would have 1.5 rating without all the fake reviews 4. GASLIGHTING...notice some of the reviews that say that "people who post negative reviews don't have a growth mindset?" That's clearly some sort of executive who wants to think that any problems this company has is it's individuals as opposed to its (terrible) culture 5. No focus on the employee experience (at corporate) at all. If you're a manager, when was the last time you said "Honestly, I know it's been hard but I really appreciate you stepping up"? When we the last time you onboarded someone with empathy and understanding of the type of organization this is? When was the last time you talked to someone about their personal life? 6. Everyone is SO NEGATIVE. I don't blame them, really I don't. The fault lies on the CEO and his executive team...they suck...they really do. 7. I've heard some great ideas from some other people at the company...those ideas get shot down because it's not 100% what the CEO thinks 8. No town halls, state of the unions, or really any other formal communication...everything is about 4insite, which really isn't a great tool for corporate folks (it might be okay for frontline) 9. Can you people stop wanting things after hours? 10. Frankly, I don't think people want to work that hard if their hard work goes to helping a major jerk (CEO) get richer. We will support you if you support us, but beyond that just expect people not not invest their full energy

Horrible, abusive environment

Pros

The people at SBM are great. Most of them care about their jobs and take pride in their work. Benefits are good. Pay is good.

Cons

SBM is the worst place I've ever worked. The CEO is verbally abusive, beyond anything you can imagine. Those that have to work with him fear coming to work each day and worry each day whether it will be their last. He is completely unreasonable and impossible to please as his ideas and requirements change by the hour. Unwarranted firings occur frequently. Vacation time, don't even think about it. Holidays, maybe you can enjoy Christmas with your family if he's in a good mood. Plan on working weekends as well. Even after all that extra effort, you will never hear a single word of appreciation or gratitude. Don't make the mistake I did. I'm miserable, my peers are miserable, you will be too.

Pros

Lots of Opportunity, responsibility, ownership, advancement opportunities, growing company but hiring bad upper management individuals.

Cons

underpaid and over worked. You will work your butt off or you will be fired. Expect to work 50-60 hours every week. You will end up earning less then the janitors make at the end of the year. You really need to be a go getter and a driven individual to succeed here or you will sink. Get ready to put in a lot of hours. One of their values is work life balance which does not exist. Expect to work from 8am to 7-8pm everyday. You will even work weekends sometimes.
