Metrics, leadership style, goals, the entire direction of the organization change daily. You'll see in the defensive responses from the CEO the type of personality you're dealing with. Employee handbooks do change, but they shouldn't change weekly. Only at Switchgear. And it's not just policy, it's metrics, commission structures, vacation, benefits, etc. You're always chasing a moving target.
I was with this company for several years and saw at least 3 different "managers" brought in but never given any real power to lead (or they were undermined at every turn if they tried to take initiative). The CEO is a lovely person on the surface, but she should not be in charge of people. There's no consistent vision, and she'll turn on you faster than you can blink. Her family member occasionally comes into the office and decides he's the manager, even though he knows nothing about recruiting. Whether you have a great day or a terrible day does not depend on what you accomplish that day, rather it depends on their mood. And when they're stressed, EVERYONE gets threatened. It's not healthy, and it doesn't appear that much has changed since 2016 in that regard.
Beyond all this, she'll fight you on paying commissions (which is most of your income). You sign that new employee handbook one day, then BAM! you're suddenly not getting paid for work you did.
