Pros
Dedicated long term hourly employees
Cons
Ownership demonstrates a narcissistic and micromanagement-driven leadership style, which negatively impacts operational efficiency, workplace morale, and employee autonomy. The company’s business model is heavily dependent on the firearms market, accounting for approximately 80% of revenue, creating significant volatility and exposure to market fluctuations. Additionally, the organization faces ongoing cash flow challenges and has made minimal investment in equipment, technology, or infrastructure improvements. Internal systems and processes remain outdated, limiting scalability, productivity, and overall competitiveness. Salaried employees have not received annual compensation increases since 2021, and there is no formalized bonus or incentive structure in place. Salaried employees are expected to remain accessible to ownership at all times, including during vacations and outside normal business hours, effectively creating a seven-day workweek expectation. Interactions with ownership are characterized by verbal criticism, hostility, and personal insults, contributing to a highly stressful and unprofessional work environment.
