Pros

The co-workers are friendly and pleasant to work with.

Cons

Not enough room to list everything. Kurken is a horrible, extremely unethical person. He talks to his employees like dirt, and commands like animals. He lied about 90% of everything he told me in the interview. I was told the person I was replacing had been in the position 7-8 years and was leaving because they were terminally ill. After starting the job, I found that they never had anybody terminally ill, and the person before me left after only about 1-2 weeks because he could not stand Kurken and his abusive ways. And, the person before him left after only about a 1-2 months for the same reasons. This animal manages with fear. He yells at all employees and even pounds his fists on his desk while yelling like a little child. This cold-hearted person does a lot of illegal activities, especially in payroll. These are not opinions, but facts based on observations and going through what I needed to in order to learn my job. Stay away!!!!!!!!!! I have seen the fear in the faces of employees who have been with the company for a while. It is scary and an environment that nobody should ever have to deal with. Kurken has no place in today's business world. In all my career, I have never dealt with anybody like him. It was truly like a bad episode of the Twilight Zone. If you don't believe me, go ahead and take a job with this guy and see for yourself.

Pros

NONE absolutely none at all. He tells his staff to leave positive reviews but threatens them too!

Cons

you will be screamed at, called stupid, useless, have things snatched from your hands, tossed at you. The CEO likes to make sexual gestures with his hands, he screams on the top of his lungs, hes racist. He has made homophobic remarks, calling my coworker gay, fat. trans, pulling his eyes back in a slanted way, and the worst of it is hes pre-demential, he will tell you to do something, then ask you why your doing it and scream at you for not doing your job. there is no winning here at all! He will also fire you for no reason, just bc he feels like it and suspend your raise bc the company is struggling. I have seen it all!
