      A very unprofessional place to try and work

      Pros

      There are some nice people in the marketing and finance departments who come to work to do their job and who are very professional too.

      Cons

      Where do I begin? This place is run by bullies. They insult coworkers regularly and gossip is rampant. They set up people to fail if they don't like them and talking loudly and swearing is common here. And if you are bold enough to speak up to management it gets worse. Ironically you have to take a harassment course when you start working there and everything they say they will not tolerate...is tolerated.

      Going downhill

      Business outlook

      Pros

      The CEO has a good vision but needs to up the morale. Company has a relatively good product for a good price.

      Cons

      The company is too focused on cutting costs/corners in every level at the expense of its employees. Employees are constantly worried that they will be fired/laid off due to management's fear tactics. There is a lot of nepotism, favortism, and backstabbing going around. Employees that have been there for years have not seen raises. Low to zero appreciation for employees or their efforts.

      Run away from this company as fast as you can!

      Pros

      Some of your co-workers are great, but they won't stick around very long before quitting or getting fired. There is always a good supply of snacks in the offices.

      Cons

      Zero loyalty to employees by management. You are and always will be just a number to them. The current corporate HR team is the worst that I've run across yet in my entire career. They got rid of (or allowed to resign) the few good HR leaders, much like the rest of the leadership of the company. Everyone seems to have a manager title, whether they manage people or not. Zero job security, regardless of your performance.
