Pros
* The pay is good; but all of their executives are essentially handcuffed to tolerating the harassment and abuse, as they would not transition to a similar role with the same salary (they are over compensated) * The benefits are above average
Cons
There are too many to list, but I will do my best to paint the picture: * The owner is injected into all levels of the business, berates employees around large audiences, and should have several lawsuits against him for his demeanor and conduct. One minute he is your best friend and the next he is screaming at you. His decisions are impulsive and reactive and based on "something he heard." Everyone immediately needs to pivot regardless how irrational his idea is * The new president is egotistical and views his insubordinates as such - the arrogance is intolerable, and believes he is the savior to the organization, although countless associates have mentioned how he has no true understanding of many facets of running an operation. The presidents typically are ousted or put in their place early on by the owner, and the current one will be in the same position. The former president (such a great man) has been pushed aside to a lesser role, but again, stays due to the salary * Finance is a complete disaster. There are no systems in place. A $700m company running off of excel spreadsheets and no auditing system for invoices. * The turnover was 50% in the last year and average tenure is just over a year. You will be swayed by salary, but you will be burnt out in no time due to having to cover for those that continually leave and continually pivoting due to the irrational behavior of the president and CEO/owner. * Work life balance is abysmal- you'll be on calls with China in the evening, and irrelevant meetings with no set agenda, but to set you up for potentially not being prepared * Customer service is a nightmare. There are no systems. There are an egregious amount of negative reviews. * So many people are brought in to a meeting or an e-mail chain, which leads to utter chaos in strategy. Managers can't manage, as the company structure is flat. There are 5 or 6 VP of Sales without a VP of Operations. * The companies compliance with federal governments is bound to be sought out. There are so many shortcuts being taken, along with people in positions that have no true understanding of their actions that will be detrimental to the organization.
