Pros

The health insurance was really good and relatively inexpensive after it switched to Blue Cross

Cons

There was a father and son team that ran the company. The son was the president, the father was founder and CTO. The president was the single most toxic boss I ever worked for in my life. There were unbearable levels of micromanagement, secrecy, lying, harassment, and incompetence. The President used and abused everyone he could, mocked people in public, and had so many bizarre quirks, he was a walking caricature. The CTO was a Russian immigrant who also colossally micromanaged and had an outdated office mentality stuck in the 1980’s. Alencon was the most soul-sucking experience of my life.

Pros

The other employees are generally nice

Cons

The former CEO was put in place by his dad, the Founder and CTO. He never ran a manufacturing business, and oversold his former leadership experience. He oversold many things, and in many cases, completely fabricated reality. He could never truly listen to others, and instead just tried to control them. He ended up in over his head, and left when things got bad (conveniently, before having to fire most of the production staff himself). The CTO is now running the company, and since he’s old, can’t hardly remember anything people tell him. He also is very toxic, and talks down to most others. He has been heard belittling the roles of most other employees. Meanwhile, he spends the day completely lost on what’s going on. More than half of what was shipped broke almost immediately (poorly designed products). Most employees are negative and talk about how poorly the company is ran.
