The CEO is a bad micro - manager and unpleasant to work with or have on coms.
Doesn't pay overtime hours.
High employee turnaround.
CEO changes midstream often ; he may not even call himself the CEO anymore.
People leave despite supposed offers of more money.
He finds ways to fire people instead of pay them.
Doesn't learn from his mistakes.
Had to take on significant financial responsibility for the company when the CEO failed to appear or bring payment as he promised.
A general good company full of good people ruined by one horrible leader in the CEO who will find creative ways to blame everyone else, including clients, for his shortcomings.
