Pros

If you're NOT a fan of accountability or you LIKE to lose, this is definitely the place for you. The CEO knows everything. Don't believe me? Just ask him. He's not only the captain of all know-it-alls, but he has a masters in "how to lead when nobody wants to follow you." I want to be the first to point out that the impossible is, in fact, possible here. Where else can mediocre managers, who lack the necessary skills to lead business units and companies, jump directly to a C-level role overnight? Here, that's where! We're talking about un-promotable managers rejected by their previous employers climbing the corporate ladder and ultimately reaching unimaginable and truly unrealistic pinnacles in their careers in a blink of an eye. After all, America is the land of opportunity.

Cons

Sales have been constantly declining for nearly a decade. There's more turnover in the marketing and sales department than our products in stores. I'm not sure what's flatter? Our innovation curve or the backside of SpongeBob SquarePants. It's hard to keep up with the Joneses when you have insignificant funds to reinvest and execute at a snail's pace. Not to worry though, Rug Doctor will eventually etch its place in iconic brand lore with the likes of Blockbuster, Blackberry, Polaroid, and MySpace. Morale is terrible. It's been terrible since I've been here and continues to get worse almost everyday. HR keeps coming out with new incentives for employees but it isn't helping. If I'm being honest, you'd be hard pressed to find someone here who loves their job. Well I can probably think of one.

Pros

The people were nice when I joined, but when they started leaving, I knew it was time for me to leave too.

Cons

Clear nepotism at the management level and they don't even try to hide it.
