Pros

Most of the people you work with are generally nice and easy to get along with. The building is nicely kept and they run reverse osmosis water out of every tap in the building.

Cons

Where to I begin? The Owner, Bob Marshall is a fraud and misrepresents himself as a doctor. He received his 'PhD' from Colombia Pacific University... a school which went out of business in 2000 for being 'a diploma mill which has been preying on California consumers for too many years.' The owners of this company try to constantly micro manage every aspect of their employees lives. It's mandatory that you work 40 hours a week and you are allotted no vacation time in your first year (honestly, who wants to stay for more than a year?) and 40 hours of unpaid leave. If you go over your 40 hours of unpaid leave, you risk termination. The mobility is extremely limited. The employees that were there for years essentially worked in the same positions as when they started.

Pros

The people are the best part of this company. My direct team was exceptional, supportive, and hardworking, and they are the primary reason I stayed as long as I did. Beyond my own department, it was clear how much effort the operation teams put in. Many employees genuinely care about their work and each other, and that sense of camaraderie is real and meaningful.

Cons

Leadership, particularly at the executive level, is deeply disconnected from the reality of the company. While middle management and direct supervisors were generally strong, decisions from the C-suite consistently undermined morale, sustainability, and employee retention. There is a noticeable lack of listening to employee feedback, and many strategic decisions appear driven by ego rather than operational reality. Teams are chronically understaffed and overextended, with little reprieve or long-term planning. Resources are heavily funneled into sales, while manufacturing, quality, and operational teams struggle to keep up. Selling more product without adequately supporting the teams responsible for producing and maintaining quality creates ongoing strain and burnout. Compensation growth is extremely limited. There have been no meaningful raises or incentives for most employees in years, while leadership continues to expand at the director and executive level. This disparity is highly visible to employees and is damaging to morale. Advancement often feels political rather than performance-based. Overall morale is low, and many employees are actively seeking other opportunities. In my experience, there is a widespread sense of exhaustion and a lack of confidence in the company’s direction.
