Here are the cons, it stems from so many different things, this place is INSANE:
1. The owner:
- He should not be running any company, ever. He doesn't know what he wants and makes no sense. He just repeats the same things "Let's not reinvent the wheel", "That's just my 2 cents" which really translates to "Do what I say because I'm the boss". You can't mask that by saying that we should do what we think is best when you deep down don't mean it.
- He has without a doubt the most UNREALISTIC expectations I have ever seen. When I see what he wants to accomplish it's laughable, I understand its good to want to be optimistic and have real goals but the goals will NEVER happen, no matter who you hire, I promise you that.
- He will NEVER tell you, you did good or have ANY positive reinforcement. Everyone seems afraid of him. How is that leadership?
2. The Polices, both terrifying and hilarious (lol)
- Let's start with the horrific PTO. You barley get any and they mix it in with your sick days! You do not get paid holidays for Christmas eve, day after Thanksgiving, day after 4th of July. I have never worked in a company like this. Also no paternity or maternity leave, if you have a child you have to leave your wife and newly born child at home. So if you have a baby you are expected to work the next day or use PTO. That is DISGUSTING!
- You can NOT be more than 5 minutes late (lol). They will literally lock the door and you will have to walk through the front and do the walk of shame. We are salary employees, its 2024 what is going on?! But they will call for meetings late. Who still does this? Also, what kind of a grace period is 5 minutes? We live in California, the traffic is insane!
- They will spy on you. The place literally has cameras everywhere. I have never seen this in my 14 professional years. They will tell you that it is for safety lol. I literally just had desks and computers around. No it's so you can spy on your employees.
3. HR:
- The HR and boss are husband and wife, that is the definition of a conflict of interest.
- HR is barley even there!
4. High turn over:
- People are in and out here. If you take a role here, it won't be for too long unless you are related. If you are reading this and are doing marketing, someone else will have your job in a few months, and then someone will take their spot. Nobody wants to work here. It's depressing, I don't blame them.
If you are reading this, trust me, you will regret working here. I hope you remember this review. Just work somewhere else, the wait and search for better options, just wait it out and it will be worth it. Never in all my years have I seen a company be so outdated with their policies. NOBODY does these things.
