Toxic Manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits and lunch provided for in the office.

Cons

Flat management culture so you will only get promoted if someone resigns which is all the time recently. One very toxic manager that bullies and gaslights women in particular and then projects the nice guy persona in front of his peers.
