Great culture but lacks growth opportunities - Regional Sales Manager Electroswitch Employee Review

I had a great time interning with Electroswitch as I learned invaluable skills that will help me succeed in my future career.

I think that the company is a little behind in technology.

Manufacturer of high quality products

Just a warning to anyone considering employment with this manufacturer. Seldom does one find the level and depth of dishonesty and exploitation that exists within the top management of this company. The company's leadership (CEO and some at the VP level) are highly self-deluded individuals who display many of the traits found in text-book narcissists. The CEO has effectively created an atmosphere of highly subtle intimidation in which open discussion of necessary and standard business topics are suppressed. Here, as in Alice in Wonderland, “all ways are the queen’s ways”. When dealing with this highly dysfunctional individual, you get the distinct feeling that he believes he is operating in Charles Dickens’ London where the worker has no rights and should be grateful that “his lord” would even elect to acknowledge their existence. Strategic business decisions, at this company, are made based on neurotic fears and not on sound reasoning or principles. Management underlings are expected to fall into line with a cacophony of approvals and support. Only the fearful and sniveling can flourish under this type of leadership. Anyone with backbone soon finds they are not welcomed here. Combine all of the above with the outright deception and distortion of truth that is practiced and the result is a toxic employment environment. I would caution anyone considering employment with this company at management levels to look beyond the surface smiles and ask the hard questions. How these are answered will be very revealing.
