Very restrictive non-compete agreement turns employees into slaves, below market salaries and no raises, they consider employees disposable, low morale (big surprise), executive VP is verbally and emotionally abusive - frequent profanity, significant favoritism toward family members of the executives and owners who don't share the wealth, few opportunities for the outsiders, many people have left if they can escape to another job without incurring the wrath of the non compete - they DO enforce it
