Pros
The company used to offer meaningful mentorship, flexibility, and a mission people actually believed in. After the previous Controller was fired, the culture completely deteriorated. Leadership is now purely EBITDA-driven, mentorship is nonexistent, and burnout is normalized. Expect 80+ hour weeks, constant fire drills, and very few weekends off. Workloads are unrealistic, turnover is high, and employees are stretched so thin there’s no opportunity to grow, only survive. The only remaining “pro” is flexibility, and even that appears to be disappearing under the current CFO.
Cons
Toxic leadership, favoritism, retaliation, and zero support from upper management. During the Controller transition, I raised legitimate concerns about favoritism and repeated errors from an employee who was unqualified for the role and costing the company significant time and money to correct. Instead of addressing the issue, management retaliated. After speaking up, I was heavily micromanaged, overloaded with responsibilities I was never properly trained on, and ultimately pushed out. The CFO protected the new Controller because they had previously worked together, making it clear concerns would not be taken seriously. Going to HR only made the retaliation worse. Despite receiving strong performance reviews and a bonus, I was terminated in March 2026 shortly after informing management that my mother had suffered a stroke and I needed some flexibility to help care for her. My work performance never declined. The decision felt predetermined long before my termination. This company rewards favoritism over competence and punishes employees who speak up.
