Pros

Free lunch first Wednesday of every month

Cons

This company is stuck in the 1970's, with the lack of competence in every single area of the business. From Sales to Marketing to Operations to HR, there has been no effort by upper-management to evolve, in part because they are not open to the concept, but also because they wouldn't know where to start. Everything--everything--is still done by paper and efforts to supply their employees with equipment and training to make them more productive is met with resistance by upper-management. Your input is not valued here. The CEO himself is unhinged, and being on the receiving end of one of his tantrums with regards to anything business or politics-related is considered a right of passage. It's laughed off by the older employees who have been here for decades and know nothing else outside of this company on how modern businesses actually function. In fact, if it came down to it, they would have a difficult time finding a job elsewhere because their role here has not afforded them actual skills to operate any company at a high level. It's difficult to say this, because I know the job market is difficult, but if you find yourself in a position here, as much as possible, do not stay for long and keep looking. Like myself, many of the employees here come from staffing agencies (that's the only way they're able to find employees because no one would apply here directly) and have already struggled to find work for some time. Otherwise, in such a toxic work environment, your self-worth is at risk, your skillset will atrophy, and you'll end up stuck here. Please, please keep looking.

Pros

Benefits were good. Paid holidays and vacation time. Good work & life balance. Yearly bonus. Free vitamins and monthly free lunches. Great products. Some growth potential if you know who to speak to AND how to speak with them i.e. by throwing others under the bus! To the cons!

Cons

The owner is very opinionated and well known in the industry. Look it up. Sometimes entertaining sometimes terrifying but the company is a success so he must be doing something right. A big problem was the hateful office politics machine. Some managers would cosy up to the owner for their own best interests and would lie through their teeth to get their message across. No morals. Talented people left because of this. Lots of chest pounding but no accountability when mistakes were made by the managers. Their underlings got the blame even when they were following instructions!!! The so called expert in the industry guy was as shady as they come. He would stab people in the back then drone on about how they didn't understand the details of the business while he conspired with others to make their work a living hell. His closest cohort (more senior) was unaware that the guy wanted his position. That will no doubt happen since the other guys actions were unbelievable and totally unprofessional. Lots of disconnect between depts that caused lots of infighting. Reading endless email threads and listening to coworkers talking trash about each other gave me headaches.
